Idaho Rivers United recognizes the traditional Indigenous peoples who have been stewards of the land and waterways in which we work for thousands of years. We value and prioritize the opportunities to partner with them and are honored to work alongside those who have protected and preserved these landscapes for time immemorial. These opportunities call us to commit to continuously learning how to be better stewards of the lands in which we work.

The following Tribes have been active participants in our campaigns and programming. Our organization encourages our partners to learn more about conservation efforts being led by these and other tribes in Idaho: Nimiipuu (Nez Perce), Shoshone-Bannock, Salish Kootenai, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho and the Shoshone-Paiute.
