Never heard of this before and now it's in everybody's thread here. Seems about as common on ExPo as max tracks and hi-lift jacks... *

Seriously, the Kootenays are the valleys the Columbia River flows thru. BC, WA, ID, bordering on OR. One of the worlds biggest Hydro projects. One of the longest rivers in the world.
Gods Country.
The fascinating thing is from Canal Flats the Columbia flows north and south before joining at Castlegar and flowing to the Pacific at Astoria and the Columbia Reach.

You get to spell it a few ways if you want to be fancy...
The Kutenai (/ˈkuːtəneɪ, -i/), also known as the Ktunaxa (/tʌnˈɑːhɑː/ tun-AH-hah;[4] Kutenai: [ktunʌ́χɑ̝]), Ksanka (k-SAHN-kah), Kootenay (in Canada) and Kootenai (in the United States), are an indigenous people of Canada and the United States. Kutenai bands live in southeastern British Columbia, northern Idaho, and western Montana. The Kutenai language is a language isolate, unrelated to the languages of neighboring peoples.
Four bands form the Ktunaxa Nation in British Columbia. The Ktunaxa Nation were historically closely associated with the Shuswap Indian Band through tribal association and intermarriage. Two federally recognized tribes represent Kutenai people in the U.S.: the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in Montana, a confederation also including Bitterroot Salish and Pend d'Oreilles bands.

You are missing the Arrow Lakes Band, the Sinixt. Who the Government tried to claim extinct but after 4 court battles now have recognition in Canada.
You might enjoy this book.
Correction, the 4th court battle to the Supreme Court has yet to be heard and delayed due to COVID-19.
See page 3 for the story in the West Kootenays Valley Voice.

THE ARROW LAKE SAGA - ARCHIVOS
Part I A couple of summers ago, I stopped at the Needles ferry for a picnic and walked along the shore of Arrow Lake. I was surprised with how little water there was in the lake. I could throw a stone across to Fauquier. I strolled down the steep bank to the waters edge and…

Thx for mentioning them and helping bring back some fond memories for me!

If you’d like to read some really good books about that area ⬆ while you’re dealing with your C-19 downtime, local author Rick Bass has several volumes of great stories published that you might enjoy.

We should get a bunch of Expo'rs together and buy the Dirty Shame Saloon. Turn it into a stop-over or something for Overlanders.
