On the Flathead

My first night was on The Flathead Reservation, formed in 1855 for Salish, Pend d Orielle and Kootnai tribes.  In 1910,  tribal lands were opened to settlers by the US government, so today there is a mix of whites and native peoples on the land. I had the privilege of meeting a few people there to make a difference in people's lives. The Mitchells started pastoring a local church here last year. They put on a weekly evening program with the help of their co-worker Chloe for about 30-40 kids, with dinner, games and a short Bible study. The church has a nice indoor gym and lots of space for lots of fun. Thanks for your hospitality and all you are doing you guys!
