Colville Indian Reservation, Indigenous reservation in north central Washington, United States

The Colville Indian Reservation spans 1.4 million acres of mountains, forests, and rivers across northeastern Washington, managed by twelve confederated tribes.

President Ulysses S. Grant established the reservation through an executive order in 1872, creating a protected territory for multiple Native American tribes in Washington State.

The twelve member tribes, including the Colville, Nespelem, and Sanpoil, maintain their traditional practices of hunting, fishing, and gathering along the Columbia River.

The Confederated Tribes operate multiple enterprises in forestry, agriculture, and gaming, generating revenue for community development and educational programs.

The reservation contains territories of tribes sharing names with eight major rivers flowing from the North Cascades and Okanogan Highlands.
