Description

In 2015, the Kerr Dam on Montana’s Flathead River will be purchased and operated by Energy Keepers, Inc., a corporation wholly-owned by the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes. This acquisition will make history as a sovereign Indian nation assumes ownership of a major hydropower facility built on their ancestral land. Mr. Hovenkotter will discuss the controversial history of the dam, the Tribes’ plan for energy production and marketing, and the significance of the acquisition to Indian Country.
