UPPER COLUMBIA UNITED TRIBES
The structure of UCUT is unique and sustainable with the collaboration of its five member tribes all working toward common goals. UCUT is governed by one commissioner and one representative from each tribe. We are empowered to create programs that promote and encourage cooperative resource management, conservation, enhancement and enforcement of tribal practices.

Member tribes of UCUT collaborate to communicate and resolve common issues and concerns. Our leadership model allows UCUT to rehabilitate and maintain crucial wildlife corridors and ways of life, through the sharing of resources and efforts for the benefit of the whole region.
