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.

“When my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, ‘tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart!”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
