In the penultimate episode of Land Grab, we conclude our narrative on the ground on the Flathead Reservation with the story of the Flathead Irrigation Project and the construction of Kerr Dam. After tracing the path of multinational corporations like Standard Oil and Amalgamated as they took over Montana in the early 1900’s, we are going to see in this chapter how those multinationals imposed themselves on the Reservation, and confiscated the tribes’ most valuable remaining resource: the power site on the Flathead River Falls.
