The Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana is home to the Salish, Pend d’Oreille, and Kootenai Indian people. Between 2005 and 2006 author Maggie Plummer listened to a cross-section of voices representing the tribes on the reservation and published profiles in the tribal newspaper, the
Char-Koosta News
. This book collects these interviews and preserves a slice of the recent history of the Flathead Reservation community.
