PREFACE The following paper represents an attempt to compile and summarize available water resource Information on the Flathead Indian Reservation of western Montana. It Is not meant to be com­ prehensive. There are broad gaps In the published data on the Reservation, and the Issue of Indian water rights Is a tangled, and as yet, unresolved one. In addition, the report will be confined to a discussion of surface waters on the reservation only. Ground­ water Is an extensive topic In Its own right and merits a more thorough treatment than was considered to be feasible within the limitations of this paper. Rather, It Is hoped that this paper will provide a review of basic Information useful In future planning on the reserva­ tion In the area of surface water resources; an Indication of areas where further research Is necessary; and a guide to the literature available on the subject, for those Interested In pursuing the matter further. It should be noted that. In some Instances, reference has been made to areas outside the boundaries of the reservation Itself. This has been done wherever It was felt that the Information had either a direct bearing or effect upon the reservation, or where the data might help clarify situations existing on the reservation. 11 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

CHAPTER I DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA Topography The Flathead Indian Reservation is located in western Montana and Includes most of Lake County as well as portions of Sanders, Missoula, and Flathead Counties. The reservation covers some 1,250,000 acres, and is bounded on three sides by mountain ranges. These are: the Mission Range to the east, the Cabinet Range to the west, and part of the Coeur D'Alene and Mission ranges to the south. The Salish (or Flathead) Range runs through the center of the reservation, while the Jocko Hills may be found in its southeast corner. Most of the reservation is valley bottom, the most important valleys of which are the Lower Flathead and the Little Bitterroot. Both of these valleys run in a generally north-south direction. Terrain on the reservation varies from gently rolling in the valley bottoms, to rugged mountain peaks, and represents a fairly typical example

  • What's the Deal with Flathead Lake and Lake Trout
    PO Box 7186 Missoula, MT 59807 (406) 543-0054 PO Box 638 Kalispell, MT 59903 (406) 260-1198 What anglers should know about Flathead Lake, lake trout, and native trout Are lake trout the main reason native bull trout and cutthroat trout are disappearing from Flathead Lake and the Flathead River and its Middle and North forks? Yes. Biologists agree that the primary culprit in the precipitous decline in bull trout and cutthroat trout in the Flathead system the last 20 years is predation from an expanding population of non-native lake trout in Flathead Lake. How can lake trout in Flathead Lake be harming bull and cutthroat trout in the river? Biologists have long known that most of the bull trout and a portion of the cutthroat trout found in the main Flathead River, as well as in its North and Middle Forks, are migratory and they spend part of their lives in Flathead Lake. They move to the river to spawn and spend the first few years of their lives rearing in tributaries, before descending to the lake where they fall prey to or are otherwise outcompeted by voracious lake trout. So, what is the status of bull trout and cutthroat trout in the Flathead system? Based on annual counts of spawning redds and historical angling data, it is clear that the bull trout population is a fraction of what it was historically. This is a primary reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed this fish species as “threatened.” Absolute numbers on cutthroats are hard to come by, but based on limited field data and anecdotal information it appears their numbers are also drastically reduced.

  • White Paper on COLUMBIA RIVER POST-2024 FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
    White Paper on COLUMBIA RIVER POST-2024 FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division September 2011 This page intentionally left blank PREFACE The Columbia River, the fourth largest river on the continent as measured by average annual flow, provides more hydropower than any other river in North America. While its headwaters originate in British Columbia, only about 15 percent of the 259,500 square miles of the river’s basin is located in Canada. Yet the Canadian water accounts for about 38 percent of the average annual flow volume, and up to 50 percent of the peak flood waters, that flow on the lower Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. In the 1940s, officials from the United States and Canada began a long process to seek a collaborative solution to reduce the risks of flooding caused by the Columbia River and to meet the postwar demand for energy. That effort resulted in the implementation of the Columbia River Treaty in 1964. This agreement between Canada and the United States called for the cooperative development of water resource regulation in the upper Columbia River Basin. The Columbia River Treaty has provided significant flood control (also termed flood risk management) and hydropower generation benefiting both countries. The Treaty, and subsequent Protocol, include provisions that both expire on September 16, 2024, 60 years after the Treaty’s ratification, and continue throughout the life of the associated facilities whether the Treaty continues or is terminated by either country. This white paper focuses on the flood risk management changes that will occur on that milestone date and satisfies the following purposes: 1.

  • Safeguarding the West from Invasive Species
    Safeguarding the West from Invasive Species Actions to Strengthen Federal, State, and Tribal Coordination to Address Invasive Mussels PROGRESS REPORT FEBRUARY 2019 Progress Report n June 2017, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) announced a set of Iactions that it is undertaking to protect western waters from invasive quagga and zebra mussels (Dreissana rostriformis bugensis and D. polymorhpa). Invasive mussels pose significant threats to water-based recreation, hydropower, water delivery, fisheries, and aquatic ecosystems. DOI led this call-to-action in the spring of 2017 in collaboration with the Western Governors’ Association (WGA), and federal, state, and tribal representatives. This intergovernmental process resulted in the report, Safeguarding the West from Invasive Species: Actions to Strengthen Federal, State, and Tribal Coordination to Address Invasive Mussels [hereafter, Safeguarding the West], which describes DOI commitments to prevent, contain, and control invasive mussels in the West. The Safeguarding the West initiative builds on decades of federal-state collaboration and advances priorities identified in interagency plans, including the Quagga-Zebra Mussel Action Plan (QZAP) for Western U.S. Waters developed by the Western Regional Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species. Through Safeguarding the West, DOI leveraged investments to address invasive mussels, strengthened relationships with WGA, states, tribes, and partners, and increased DOI engagement at national, regional, and field levels on policy and program initiatives. This is DOI’s second Safeguarding the West progress report and provides a status update on activities that occurred in 2018. DOI released its first progress report in February 2018. While much has been accomplished, more work needs to be done.

  • A Brief History of Kerr Dam and the Reservation1
    A Brief History of Kerr Dam and the Reservation1 An essay by Thompson Smith based on the script for The Place of the Falling Waters, a documentary film by Roy Bigcrane and Thompson Smith2 When Kerr Dam was constructed on the Flathead River in 1938, it brought sudden and dramatic change to a place not only of great natural beauty and power, but also of deep cultural importance to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The dam flooded the falls of the Flathead River, a sacred place known from time immemorial in the Kootenai language as 'a͏·kniⱡ ka’nuk — narrow pass between cliffs — and in the Salish language as st̓ipmétk͏ʷ — falling waters. The dam destroyed one kind of power in order to produce a very different kind — electricity for an industrial economy that was in many ways the antithesis of the tribal way of life. But in coming years, the tribes will have the opportunity to take direct control of the dam and its considerable revenue. And so the question now looms: can something that was part of the assault on traditional native cultures now serve the well-being of the tribal community? Perhaps some answers may be found in the history of the dam and this place. The following essay on that history is a revised version of the script from the documentary film, The Place of the Falling Waters. Part I: The Road to the Dam In the beginning, tribal elders tell us, Coyote prepared the world for the human beings who were yet to come. And from that time in the ancient past, beyond all memory and history, Indian people have inhabited the mountains and valleys of what is now western Montana.
