These guys might know something...

STANDING ROCK TELECOM (http://www.standingrocktelecom.com/internet.html)

"BEST COVERAGE FOR THE STANDING ROCK AREA."

Standing Rock Telecom, also called Rock Wireless, provides CDMA cellular
and fixed wireless voice, fax, data transmission and high-speed Internet
services throughout the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation on the border of
North and South Dakota. Standing Rock is tribally-owned and offers the
best, and sometimes only, wireless services in the area. They have
competitively-priced plans that include US roaming and Unlimited
minutes. They offer discount bundles with their other telecommunications
services. They offer a small number of phones including a few Smart
phones. Customer service is good but they're really small. Standing Rock
claims the other carriers in the area admit to having poor coverage on
the reservation and will help you switch to Standing Rock without an
Early Termination Fee.  They now offer Lifeline plans which are
available to anyone who actually lives on the reservation.
