The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes' Tribal Council established the Kootenai Culture Committee in 1975. The Kootenai Culture Committee is a tribal program that functions independently from the Tribal Organization, where the Committee serves to advise the Tribal Council on cultural issues that affect Tribal policy and provide information to assist programs in project development! The Kootenai Culture Committee also consults and collaborates information with the Kootenai Elders Committee on all issues pertaining to Traditions and Cultures.
