Indian youth program suspended with sequestration of budget

Tuesday, April 23, 2013  

The Northwest Montana Native Youth Conservation Corps has been suspended due to the sequestration of the federal budget.

The program has put about 50 Native youth to work in environmental and natural resource positions over the past three years. But the program has been canceled for the summer.

The Confederated Salish Kootenai Tribes and Salish Kootenai College were partners with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the program.
