	Kootenai Tribe Statement June 24, 2003
		The Tribe’s activities in the Columbia River Basin focus mainly on implementation of appropriate measures in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s biological opinion for the Kootenai River white sturgeon and bull trout and collaborative, community-based approaches to restoration of other resident fish and wildlife species.
		The Tribe recognizes, however, the interconnectedness of the Basin ecosystem and the necessity of anadromous fish recovery to Basin restoration.
		One forum for this collaboration is the Upper Columbia United Tribes (UCUT), consisting of the Colville, Spokane, Kalispel, Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai Tribes.

	Kootenai Tribe Wants to Join Libby Dam Lawsuit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Kootenai Tribe is trying to save the endangered white sturgeon, the largest freshwater fish in America, and is trying to challenge a suit by the Center for Biological Diversity, which is also trying to thwart the extinction of the giant fish.
		The tribe has asked a federal judge in Montana to join a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Missoula about the operation of the Libby Dam on the Kootenai River, which creates unsuccessful spawning seasons for the sturgeon since the gates closed in 1975.
		But the Kootenai tribal leaders and some Idaho government officials are afraid that higher flows in the in the river will flood the town of Bonners Ferry and cause huge financial amounts of damage to farms, dikes and riverfront property.

	Fish and wildlife success stories - Kootenai River White Sturgeon Conservation
		In Bonners Ferry, Idaho, the Kootenai Tribe is racing against the extinction clock to save a unique white sturgeon population that has inhabited the Kootenai River for millennia but that has not reproduced in sustainable numbers in at least 30 years.
		Four years earlier, the tribe initiated the Kootenai River White Sturgeon Study and Conservation Aquaculture Project to preserve the genetic variability of the population, begin rebuilding natural age class structure with hatchery-reared fish, and prevent extinction while measures are implemented to restore the natural production of fish.
		Meanwhile, mature fish have spawned naturally in the Kootenai, but the eggs or the resulting juveniles don’t appear to be surviving in numbers sufficient to rebuild the population.

	Winning Poster
		Kootenai elders have passed down the history of creation and the beginning of time, much of it uniquely Kootenai and so sacred that it cannot be shared with outsiders.
		In 1960, the Government awarded the Kootenais $425,000 for loss of aboriginal territories, but the money came with strings attached and the struggle to survive in their homeland went on.
		Although it was a peaceful war, the publicity got the bureaucrat’s attention and the Kootenais were finally deeded 12.5 acres and things began to go better for the Tribe.

		The tribe made the decision to stay with Hagadone to coordinate it all, and he is fortunate to have the reputation in the Indian legal community of negotiating by far the most beneficial management contract for a tribe involved in gaming.
		The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho as a Government is unique among governments found in the United States of America, for it is not only established to make and administer the laws of its citizens but holds a relationship of providing religious, cultural and spiritual leadership for its members.
		The tribe countered that their feasibility study showed that this fear was not well founded in that a facility of this type and nature would in fact increase dramatically the number of overnight stays that would occur in Boundary County and should result in an increase for the existing motel and restaurant businesses.

		At the conclusion of the war, the Kootenai Tribe, one of the only Indian tribes in the United States that had never entered into a treaty with the United States, was granted 12 ½ acres of land and other concessions to help them begin rebuilding.

		The Kootenai is home to fish species such as white sturgeon, burbot, whitefish, rainbow, cutthroat, and bull trout.
		In addition to all of the changes to the valley floor, the Kootenai River was dammed for flood control and hydropower in the early 1970s near Libby, Montana.
		Studies have shown that this is the case on the Kootenai River, and that Libby Dam is primarily responsible for the depletion of nutrients and the decline in food production in the lower Kootenai River.

	Kootenai Tribe of Idaho v. Veneman
		The Kootenai Tribe, several livestock and recreational groups, and other plaintiffs filed suit contending that the Roadless Rule violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), claiming the rule would prevent access to national forests for proper purposes (e.g., fighting wildfires and threats from insects or disease).
		Here, Kootenai Tribe and those joined with it allege that implementation of the Roadless Rule will make it more difficult to fight fires, increase disease of trees by blocking forest management and induce proliferation of harmful insects in the national forests.
		The alleged injuries asserted by the Kootenai Tribe and other plaintiffs in its action are sufficient to satisfy the injury in fact requirement.

		Sturgeon were a primary source of food and the tribe even modeled their canoes in the form of a sturgeon's head with the prow sloping downward to the water rather than swept upward in the more common fashion.
		Efforts were small at first at the Kootenai Hatchery and during the years between 1992 and 1999 only 2,702 hatchery-reared fish were released into the Kootenai River.
		The tribe's purpose was to do something to benefit the fish and bring this population back from the verge of extinction with the hope that a fishery could eventually be resumed on the Kootenay River.
