Although speaking German in everyday colony life, all colony members are raised to be bilingual, speaking English in their dealings with the outside world. Their religion is founded on the belief in the absolute authority of God. In confirming that only in belief in the word of God, by repentance, and by receiving the grace of Christ through continual submission of self to the will of God in communal living can they achieve eternal life. Men are in charge of the governing of the colony, while women work at traditional jobs such as cooking, sewing, and cleaning. They disapprove of personal possessions and do not use televisions or cameras.
Most colonies only have one telephone.
In Glacier County, Hutterites have founded the Big Sky, Glendale, Glacier, Seville and Hidden Lake Colonies. Additional revenues for the colonies come from selling fresh eggs, and seasonal produce, so if you see a sign along a highway advertising fresh produce, feel free to drive in.
