Clark Fork Corridor: The River

For thousands of years the Sqelixw—people of the Salish, Pend Oreille and Kalispel tribes—inhabited the valleys of the Clark Fork and other rivers of western Montana. They used their extensive knowledge of the natural world to create and maintain a comfortable lifeway. By preserving and enhancing the Earth Mother and her plants, animals and waterways, they were, in turn, sustained by them.

Today, the Sqelixw follow their belief that all waterways are arteries of the Earth Mother. The fast-flowing waters nourish plants, animals, fish, birds and humans. They continue to use, maintain and respect the natural world in the practice of their traditional lifeways.

Antoine Chief Eagle
(1865-1936)
A member of the Pend Oreille tribe, Antoine was known for setting long, narrow, reed traps to harvest fish from the numerous rivers and streams in this area.
