Treaty Rock (q'emiln)

Kootenai County · Idaho

Q'emiln was the Schitsu'umsh name for this place, and Moses Seltice, father of the head chief Andrew Seltice, lived here; Post is said to have approached him many times about the land at the falls. The arrangement surfaced in law in 1889, when Andrew Seltice signed the tribe's agreement with the United States and, a week later, an addendum concerning Post. The rock is on the National Register for its archaeology, its pictographs and the carved name and date. Vandals had painted over parts of it before 1974. Tribal members attended Post's funeral in 1908.
