Kalispel Tribal Court Videoconferencing Celebration and Demonstration

On June 26, 2012, the Kalispel Tribal Court and the Communities Connect Network celebrated the successful implementation of videoconferencing systems installed in the Tribal Court and the Pend Oreille District Court. This system, implemented by Court Analyst Evin Olsen, and additional public computers have been installed through funding from the Communities Connect Network Project and fulfilled a goal of the state JusticeNet group. Tribal Business Council Chair Glen Nenema, Tribal Court Administrator Cathy Kintner-Christie, and other tribal representatives welcomed Sheila Collins from the Governor's Office, State Representative John McCoy, and other government and non-profit representatives. Look for a full write-up in our next e-Newsletter at the end of July. To learn more, download the press release.
