The Coeur d'Alene Reservation is now located completely in Idaho, although it originally consisted of 4 million acres across eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana. Some of the towns located within the reservation include DeSmet, Plummer, Tensed, and Worley. The Old Mission Cataldo is also an important part of the history of this reservation.

Records
