Kootenai: Idaho, Wash. forests receive restoration money - Two national forests in Idaho and Washington state could receive more than $90 million over the next 10 years as part of a forest restoration plan intended to boost timber production and create jobs while making forests healthier and less prone to wildfire. "Caring for the forest where we live and work and play is a shared responsibility," said Patty Perry, administrator for the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, part of the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative. "This will offer a great opportunity for our community."
Kootenai: CBP designates first native American tribe’s Enhanced Tribal Card as acceptable travel - The Idaho Kootenai tribe’s identification document officially became a valid form of identification to enter the U.S. on Jan. 31. The tribe, whose lands straddle the U.S./Canadian border in Idaho, was the first native American tribe to sign a memorandum of agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in 2009 to begin the process of creating a secure travel document denoting identity, tribal membership and citizenship. Production of the cards began in May 2011, said CBP.

In the Name of the Salish and Kootenai Nation: The 1855 Hell Gate Treaty and the Origin of the Flathead Indian Reservation: On July 16, 1855, eighteen leaders of the Flathead, Kootenai, and Upper Pend d'Oreilles Indians signed an agreement with the United States government, ceding their title to almost all the land in western Montana and establishing the Flathead Indian Reservation. Born of confusion and disagreement, the Hell Gate Treaty is the legal basis for the modern relationship between the tribes and the federal government.
