With distinct languages and traditions, how did these first peoples relate to each other and to the land? And what is their story today in this place that they still inhabit? Those questions will be the focus of a public conversation between tribal elders of the Ktunaxa/Kootenai, Salish-Pend d’Oreille and Blackfoot Confederacy on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 7 p.m. at Flathead Valley Community College.
