| About ST. IGNATIUS | ||||||||||
|
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are comprised of the Bitterroot Salish, the Pend d’Oreille and the Kootenai tribes. The Flathead Reservation of 1.317 million acres in northwest Montana is our home now but our ancestors lived in the territory now known as western Montana, parts of Idaho, British Columbia and Wyoming. Numerous small communities exist within the reservation, and several large towns near the reservation provide shopping, housing, and other consumer needs that might not be met by the smaller towns. Pablo, St. Ignatius, Polson and Ronan all lie on the reservation, and the larger cities of Missoula and Kalispell are no more than an hour drive away. Tribal government headquarters are located in Pablo, while the Tribal Health & Human Services is located in St. Ignatius. |
