Former resident of Montana. A lot of the eastern reservations are considered no-stop zones. i.e. you better have enough gas to get through. Western reservations, not so much. Western reservations are pretty congenial and open to others. Flathead reservation strikes one point, but my high school also had a friendly rivalry with Polson (also on a reservation).

I was married to a mostly white girl (one-quarter Indian) that grew up on the Crow reservation and we visited frequently. I found the Crow reservation to be nothing like I'd heard. People were friendly to me and I could count on one hand the number of times I ever got a mean mug. At the time, my unit had just reclassed from infantry to cavalry, so I was a US Army cav scout married to a Crow Indian. Anyway, I realize it's anecdote and only one point on a graph. But people were always friendly to me and I never felt unsafe, or like I should just keep on driving.
