The Fort Peck Journal is a weekly newspaper on the Fort Peck Reservation. It is based in Poplar, Montana and it is one of four newspapers on the Fort Peck Reservation.
Though it is not officially tribal media, it is Native American owned and covers the affairs of the Fort Peck Tribes and its surrounding entities. It has a circulation of 1,600 in five communities in eastern Montana and western North Dakota.
The Journal was founded April 2006, after Bonnie Red Elk, editor of the Fort Peck Tribes weekly newspaper the Wotanin Wowapi, was fired for questioning the tribal chairman using tribal dollars for personal travels to Florida.

“And there is nothing in the eye,
Shut shutter of the mineral man
Who takes the fatherless dark to bed,
The acid sky to the brain-pan;
And calls the crows to peck his head.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
