Paddle To Kettle Falls
Get to Know Us
The First Annual Kettle Falls Canoe Journey was established in 2016 as a collaborative effort led by several organizations, including the Upper Columbia United Tribes (UCUT), Inchelium Language & Culture Association, Colville Confederated Tribes, Coeur D'Alene Tribe, Spokane Tribe of Indians, The Kalispel Tribe, and the Kootenay Tribe of Idaho. This event was designed to breathe new life into the traditional art of Dugout Canoe building while also spotlighting important initiatives like fish passage and the ecological clean up and protection of the Columbia River. Since then, our teams have worked tirelessly to serve as models of cultural revitalization for the Tribes of Columbia River, and we remain more committed than ever to this vital endeavor.
