The reservation is home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and covers approximately 1.3 million acres.

The Salish people were moved to reservations in the 1850s, primarily as a result of treaties with the U.S. government. The establishment of the Flathead Reservation in Montana in 1855 was a significant event for the Salish, who were part of a larger group of tribes in the region. The displacement and reservation policies were part of broader efforts to control Native American populations and their lands during that period.
Salish and Kootenai are two different peoples and speak different languages. They share a reservation in Montana (the Flathead Indian Reservation). In Salish you mother's mother would be called you 'yai-ya' (spelled phonetically) and your father's mother would be your "Ken-aa". I don't know about Kootenai.
