title = "Revenue competitions between sovereigns: State and tribal taxation in Montana",
author = "Heather Cahoon",
note = "Funding Information: While these intergovernmental tax agreements have helped stop the proliferation of legal battles between tribes and the state of Montana, another important piece of improving state-tribal relations has been a commitment on the part of the state to reinvest tax dollars collected from reservations back into reservation communities. To its credit, among several programs funded in part through federal dollars or grants, Montana invests state general fund dollars directly into specific Indian country programs. Tribal language preservation, support for tribal colleges, and an array of reservation economic development programs alone amounted to $5.1 million for the 2015–2016 biennium.80 Such investments demonstrate that the state acknowledges it has a vested interest in the well-being of the citizens and economies that it shares with the tribes located within its boundaries.",
