#184 The People's Center of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Pablo Montana

Here is some info from their website

The People’s Center staff has decided to “Rebrand” and change the name of our center to honor three of our chiefs that represent our tribes of CSKT, the Salish, Pend d’Oreille and Kootenai. Approved by our Tribal Council we will be changing the name to “Three Chiefs Culture Center” Museum & Gift Shop. We will continue operating our gift shop, Museum and cultural education programming as before the fire but with new cultural education programming, museum-gallery exhibits to continue to tell our stories, share our histories and lifeways of our tribes. Our gift shop will continue providing native American made and designed items for sale. Watch for our new logo coming soon (a design contest will be announced). Thank you for your continued support.

We found a Harvest Host boondock in Pablo Montana. It was next door to a town called Polson Montana. When we first took a look at this location it was because we were going to stay at a harvest host 5 or 6 miles south call the people Center for Salish and Kotani tribes. We stayed there for one night. It is a parking lot. This is me trying to reach out to them.

Hi there I was trying to reach Marie I signed up a while back for Harvest host and they said y'all had a parking lot we could borrow for a night.

That is fine, check-in with the gift shop in the afternoon tomorrow. Thank you.

Thanks so much and we’ll be checking in on the history of the area of the Salish and Kootenai which I am ignorant of so far. They were closed for the day and the weekend so it was pretty laid back. We found a nice spot over in the corner of the parking lot to stay the night.

On Sunday we went to a Methodist service and we got the talking in after the service and they told us that there were free glasses at the library. After the service, we went to a place called Bettys Diner.

They had a lot of humor signs all over the restaurant and of course in the bathroom. It was a cool little restaurant.

It made sense to me to stay put at the people's center for Salish and Kotani tribes until after church and lunch.
