About

The Chippewa Cree Business Committee chartered Stone Child College on May 17, 1984 with the goal of providing educational opportunities for tribal members and promoting pride in the Chippewa-Cree cultural heritage. It is a two-year institution serving the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation and the surrounding community in eastern Montana.

On the Bonneauville campus, Kennewash Hall, complted in 2003, honors original tribal member and education advocate, Chief Kennewash. The "Sitting Old Woman" Center, which contains the library, business office, President's office, and bookstore, was named in honor of Stone Child College's late President, Margaret "Peggy" Nagel, also known by her Indian name, "Sitting Old Woman." Lastly, the Jon "Cubby" Morsette Vocational Center pays homage to the late Jon Morsette, owner of the construction company who erected the campus buildings. His construction company built all the buildings on our new campus.
