Do they honor the same permits as the State of Montana? Is open carry a problem?
Indian Reservations are Federal Reservations. Only the FBI and Reservation Police have jurisdiction on Federal Reservation-no matter which one it is. Reservation Council/Government are under no obligation to honor the state's permits/laws on firearms in which the Reservation exists.
Be very careful entering Reservation property. Most public roads are considered just that, public, but subject to the jurisdiction of Reservation Police for traffic issues, etc.
If you venture off state highways or interstates that pass through Reservations, you're on your own. Specifically, if you are found well off the beaten path, you will be considered a trespasser and likely arrested.
That includes hiking across Reservation boundries from and to National Parks, BLM, FS land. It is common to seek a guide for hunting/hiking/recreation on Reservation land. It is also the courteous thing to do.
Don't worry, every Government Agency has their own Law Enforcement. Even the Department of Energy has their own.
