Read the supporting source ↗ - Flathead (Bitterroot Salish)Specific constituent people within a present confederated government
Connection & source

Its explanation says Flathead is associated with the reservation name and favors the peoples' specific identities. The directory's older Flathead access label therefore points here without treating all CSKT peoples as Bitterroot Salish.
