Klan Recruitment Flyers Littering Doorsteps on Montana’s Hi-Line

Sandwiched between two reservations 45 miles from the Canadian border, Havre, Montana, is no stranger to racism. When the railroad was being built through the area back in the late 1800s, Natives weren't permitted in town after sunset.

Fast forward to 2026, and racism remains alive and well in Montana communities large and small. Sometimes it's subtle; other times it's blatant, and Native Americans are often the target.

Klan recruitment materials left on doorsteps in Havre.

Over the weekend, white supremacy reared its ugliness when Ku Klux Klan recruitment posters showed up all over town in Havre.

Multiple sources confirmed that these flyers were deposited on doorsteps across town sometime overnight on August 8th/9th. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the original poster who took a photo of the flyer to get permission to share it in this story, but you can click the link to view it.

Here's what the KKK flyers said.

The flyer, featuring a prominent black cross with a hooded Klansman stretched Jesus-style on the cross, reads:

Restoring America Back to It's Roots

One God  One Kountry

If You Can't Join Us, Support Us!!

One Flag   One Language

Calling All Like Minded White Protestants

Yesterday Today Forever

Along the bottom of the flyer is the contact info, including a PO Box for T.W.K. in Aberdeen, Ohio, and the phone numbers for several Klan groups across the US, including "realms" in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan wrote "for an information packet and application, send $100" to the address. Seriously? A hundred bucks?! Obviously, that's not the most disturbing thing about the flier, but I guess hate groups don't operate for free. Those dumb-ass robes aren't cheap, and printing 100s of flyers costs money too.

Reportedly, similar flyers were spotted in Fort Benton around the same day; I was unable to immediately confirm this.

It's not illegal to put flyers on doorsteps.

Yes, the Klan recruitment flyers are vile, but it's not illegal to leave a flyer on someone's steps, regardless of what it might read. First Amendment and all. Perhaps a littering or trespassing violation would be the only statutes involved, and that would probably be a stretch to prosecute.

I did reach out to the Havre Police Department via email for comment. As of publishing time, I did not receive a response.
