Our Work
The Tribal Education Department is proud to serve the CSKT membership by providing advocacy, family engagement, professional development, collaboration and resources to all students, parents and schools serving tribal students on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Tribal Education offers many opportunities throughout the year for students, families and community to strengthen and gain tribal knowledge both in and outside of the classroom. These opportunities are provided through partnerships with SKC, SQCC and KCC. Professional development for Flathead Reservation teachers is one more way that Tribal Education supports tribal students through both the annual Tribal PIR Day and various tribal practices training opportunities throughout the year. In addition, Tribal Education offers summer opportunities for students through summer culture encampments and the Mission Mountains Youth Crew which employed reservation high school students and SKC students in real-world Natural Resources career exploration.
