The Spokane Indians lived in the Inland Northwest of the United States and Canada. Their traditional territory included the Spokane Valley, the Coeur d'Alene Valley, and the Palouse region. They also lived in parts of what are now Montana and Idaho.
The Spokane Indians were a nomadic people who followed the herds of bison and elk. They lived in tipis and spoke the Spokan language, a member of the Salishan language family. They were skilled hunters, fishermen, and gatherers.
The Spokane Indians had a rich culture that included many ceremonies and traditions. They were known for their basket weaving, and they also made beautiful beadwork and leatherwork. The Spokane Indians were also very spiritual people who believed in a creator god and a number of other spirits.
The Spokane Indians were first encountered by Europeans in the 19th century. The arrival of the Europeans had a devastating impact on the Spokane Indians, who were decimated by disease and war. Their traditional way of life was also disrupted, and they were forced to move onto reservations.
Today, the Spokane Indians live on several reservations in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. They continue to practice their traditional culture, and they are working to preserve their language and way of life.
