The Salish and Pend d ‘Oreille elders began the celebration in 1898 and have kept the tradition alive for more than 100 years.

Events from Indian Relay to selecting the next Miss Salish Pend d ‘Oreille are taking place in different areas across Arlee.

 The first Grand Entry will welcome all dancers Friday afternoon. The last day to enjoy the celebration is Sunday.
