The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) are comprised of the Salish, Pend d’Oreille, and Kootenai Tribes. For thousands of years, the CSKT people occupied the present Western Montana, Northern Idaho, Northeastern Washington, and southern British Columbia regions.
Today, the CSKT people are one of the most progressive tribes in the U.S. The CSKT have many tribal enterprises, including S&K, that provide income to the tribes. Revenue from the enterprises goes to the CSKT general fund, which helps support education, health care, and elderly services for Tribal members of the Flathead Reservation.
As a people, the CSKT strive to invest in their community and apply traditional principles and values into all facets of tribal operations and services.
