The Flathead Reservation is located in northwestern Montana, covering approximately 1.3 million acres. It is home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, which include the Salish, Kootenai, and Pend d'Oreille peoples. The reservation was established in 1855 and is known for its stunning landscapes, including the Flathead Lake, one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in the western United States. The reservation's economy is supported by various industries, including agriculture, tourism, and natural resources. The tribes manage several enterprises, such as the Flathead Lake Lodge and the Kootenai Creek Casino, which contribute to the local economy while preserving cultural heritage and traditions.
