Historical BackgroundReturn to Top

Coeur d’Alene (Cœur d'Alène, Snchitsu’umshtsn) is a southern interior Salish language of the Schitsu’umsh. Dialects were spoken as far as the Pacific Coast, Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia.

The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is one of five federally recognized tribes in the state of Idaho. The Coeur d'Alene have sovereign control of their Coeur d'Alene Reservation, which includes a significant portion of Lake Coeur d'Alene and its submerged lands. Historically the Coeur d'Alene occupied a territory of 3.5 million acres in present-day northern Idaho, eastern Washington and western Montana. They lived in villages along the Coeur d'Alene, St. Joe, Clark Fork, and Spokane rivers, as well as sites on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Lake Pend Oreille, and Hayden Lake.
