High-tech on the Montana Hi-Line? Proposed project relying on foreign workers prompts questions

In this tiny town on Montana’s Hi-Line, a project is planned that would potentially bring 20 or more foreign high-tech workers to town, pay out more than $1 million in annual salaries, and create Internet resources for residents of the nearby Fort Belknap Indian Community.

At first glance, the proposed "Cyber-Rez" project would be a positive pilot program to help rural Native communities stay connected to the modern world.

But questions remain about where foreign workers would live, who’s going to pay them and who stands to gain from a project that even leaders of the native reservation it would benefit say they know nothing about.
