The Flathead Indian Reservation (1,244,000 acres) is home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. In this confederation the Salish and Pend d'Orielles members form one tribe and the Kootenai another. The tribal headquarters are in Pablo, MT.

The traditional Salish and Kootenai hunted buffalo on the Great Plains, as well as deer, elk, and other wild game in western Montana. A variety of plant foods such as bitterroot, camas, moss, wild onions, Indian potatoes, and sarvis berries were gathered during their seasons and preserved for later use.

The new tribal museum, the People's Center, (www.peoplescenter.org ) is open to the public year-round. It is located about two miles north of tribal headquarters in Pablo. Eight miles north of there is the KwaTaqNuk Resort, also owned and operated by the tribes.
