As sovereign nations, we are charged with the protection and enhancement of our land and natural resources. UCUT represents five tribes that have come together to maintain our vital resources for present and future generations. The organization was formed in 1982 by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Kalispel Tribe of Indians, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho and the Spokane Tribe of Indians, with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation joining in the mid 1990s. Together, we manage and influence almost 2 million acres of potential reservation land and off-reservation areas for the betterment of the people and wildlife of the Northwest.
