There are over 8,000 enrolled tribal members with approximately 4,900 living on or near the reservation. Fort Belknap College is located at the Fort Belknap Agency community on the north end of the reservation and near the town of Harlem, which also has a K-12 elementary and secondary school system.

The MSU Fort Belknap Extension Office is located at the agency community, home of most tribal government activities. The area offers a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities including camping, boating, fishing, hiking, and hunting.
