THE UPPER COLUMBIA UNITED TRIBES MISSION

To unite Upper Columbia River Tribes for the protection, preservation, and enhancement of Treaty/Executive Order Rights, Sovereignty, Culture, Fish, Water, Wildlife and Habitat and other interests and issues of common concern in our respective territories through a structured process of cooperation and coordination for the benefit of all people.

History
The Upper Columbia United Tribes organization was formed in the late-1980's at the behest of four founding Tribes (Coeur d'Alene, Kalispel, Kootenai and Spokane), with the Colvilles joining the organization in the mid-1990's. The organization facilitates intertribal efforts to restore fish and wildlife, to address declining funding for Tribal programs, to promote recognition of Tribal sovereignty, and to speak with a more effective voice for the interests of the Tribes whose homelands surround the upper Columbia River basin.
