The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) reflects the union of three distinct tribal nations: The Bitterroot Salish, the Upper Pend d’Oreille (Ql̓ispé), and the Kootenai (Ksanka) people, currently located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. With funding from NAAF, the Bison Springs Project: Revitalizing Foodways through Land Based Learning will develop a Tribal farm that is culturally grounded and will support Native producers through training, technical help, capital access, and traditional foods training. This will include repairing existing infrastructure, facilitating intergenerational knowledge transfer, and creating training opportunities for financial management and agriculture production.
