Kananmituk

Kananmituk is the Ktunaxa name for the Flathead River, whose waters rise among the Rocky Mountains and flow south toward Flathead Lake. Its northern fork runs through a long mountain valley before joining the other branches of the river. The Flathead watershed forms part of the homeland of the Ktunaxa, whose country extends westward to the Kootenay and Columbia rivers and eastward toward the mountain divide.
