Mission

The Upper Snake River Tribes Foundation (USRT) works to ensure the protection, enhancement, and restoration of natural and cultural resources, activities, and rights of the Compacting Tribes, reserved by the Treaties and Executive Orders, protected by federal laws and agreements, or are the subject of aboriginal claims asserted by the Tribes. The USRT strives to coordinate a unified Tribal response to address common resource issues within the Snake River Basin, which protect and nurture the Tribal languages, cultures and traditions. The USRT will share and coordinate resources to increase the permanency and scope of the Tribal actions.
