Title
Kalispel Tribe of Indians
Description
The Kalispel Tribe of Indians has always recognized the importance of educating its members as well as the general community. Historically, the Kalispel Tribal Business Council understood that without a healthy, educated community, the Tribe could be forever emeshed in a vicious cycle of poverty and despair.
The Kalispel Tribe is committed to fostering an environment that encourages life-long learning. They are undertaking social and economic development reflective of the needs of the individual, the Native American community and the community overall. The Camas Institute is the fulfillment of this vision. The Camas Institute opened its doors in February 2001. The Institute's activities are supervised by a Board of Directors, comprised of five members appointed by the Tribal Business Council.
The Camas Institute continues to provide opportunities to Tribal members, Native Americans and the community at large. With the increased funding made possible by the success of the Northern Quest Casino, expansion and development of all Camas Institute programs continues.
