PABLO â A moving ceremony in Pablo Monday and the return of a flag symbolizing the ties between the State of Montana and its many tribes.
Governor Greg Gianforte came to the Mission Valley to return the flag of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), the first to be displayed as part of the Tribal Flag Plaza outside the Montana Capitol in Helena.
The flag plaza was dedicated last year to honor the eight tribes in Montana, including the CSKT tribes in the Flathead.
