The Arc Western Montana is located on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the Séliš (Salish or Flathead), Ktunaxa (Kootenai), and Qlispé (Kalispel or Pend d’Oreille) people. We recognize the Séliš, Ktunaxa, and Qlispé people for their care of the land, their teachings about the earth and all our relations (Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ), and we honor their teachings by putting our values to practice. Today, the Indigenous peoples of this land continue to celebrate their heritage, contribute to the larger community in Montana, and preserve and protect the resources of this land for generations to come.
