Browning, Montana

Browning is a former town and current Census-designated place in Glacier County, Montana, United States.

[7][8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.27 square miles (0.70 km2), all land.

There is a large degree of diurnal temperature variation that occurs in the summer, but not as much in the winter.

Arctic-air intrusions from western Canada can bring sudden, severe temperature drops, while chinook events, with Pacific-originating warmer air descending from mountain ranges to the west, can result in dramatic temperature rises.

Precipitation averages just over 14 inches per year, rendering the climate semi-arid.

Average monthly precipitation is lowest in winter and highest in the warm season.

The racial makeup of the town was 5.5% White, 92.7% Native American, and 1.8% from two or more races.

27.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

[17] The two districts, under the name "Browning Public Schools," educate students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

In addition to the public school district operated in Browning and Heart Butte on the Blackfeet Reservation, there is also a language immersion program operated through Cutswood Academy and a small non-diocesan Catholic School run by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, De La Salle Blackfeet School.

Browning is home to low-power radio station KBWG-LP, broadcasting at 107.5 FM.
