TERO wins national program of the year. The Council for Tribal Employment Rights has awarded the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation’s TERO department as the 2019 program of the year. The award goes to a program for outstanding leadership and commitment for your tribe and membership. TERO director John MacClain received a plaque commemorating the achievement.
The Colville reservation consists of tribally owned lands held in federal trust status for the Tribes, land owned by individual Colville tribal members, most of which is held in federal trust status, and land owned by others, described as fee property and taxable by counties.
