In search of a relaxing float where you can take in expansive skies and breathtaking mountain vistas? Flathead Lake has you covered. Water People Tours, run by Keya Birdsbill—a member of the Ktunaxa Nation from the Ksanka Tribe in Dayton, Montana—offers excursions that share with visitors both the natural beauty of the lake as well as its significance to the Native people of the area. The Ktunaxa have been referred to as the Water People for centuries—they developed original tools and equipment like the sturgeon-nosed canoe and a variety of fish traps that facilitated their life in and around bodies of water. Today all 7 of the modern Ktunaxa Tribes residing in the US and Canada continue to live around major lakes and rivers.
