"The documents in this book are both engaging and enlightening, and, when read with a critical eye, can lead to lively classroom discussion. They can also be used as a jumping-off point for research into this critical period of the history of the people of the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, and both internal tribal community events and relations with the Indigenous and white peoples living around the Salish and Pend d'Oreille peoples. Together they provide a valuable look into the lives of Salish and Pend d’Oreille people in a crucial time in their history."—David R. M. Beck, American Indian Culture and Research Journal
"Much tribal, reservation, and Montana history can be learned from these documents, and they will easily surpass expectations for historical researchers. In these times of increasing ancestral land acknowledgements, with growing organizational and personal interest in tribal histories, these collections provide readers with engaging details about Salish, Pend d’Oreille, and Kootenai Indians that would have remained difficult to access in their archival forms. The volumes provide this easy access to primary resources, and anyone with an interest in understanding Montana, the land, and its people more personally will benefit from this series."—Fred Noel, Tribal College Journal
