The FY2027 President's Budget requests $90.0M for Selis-Qlispe Ksanka Settlement Trust Fund, within Interior's Selis-Qlispe Ksanka Settlement Trust Fund account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $90.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $90.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $90.0M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Interior discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Interior's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Montana Water Rights Protection Act included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub.L. 116-260) settles water rights claims of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation. The Act establishes the Selis-Qlispe Ksanka Settlement Trust Fund (Fund) and authorizes appropriations to rehabilitate and modernize the existing Flathead Indian Irrigation Project, among other things. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) settlement authorizes $1.0 billion in discretionary appropriations and $900 million in mandatory appropriations to be deposited into the Fund. Final discretionary amounts to satisfy settlement must be appropriated by FY 2030 to meet the terms of the settlements. The Act authorizes mandatory payments be funded at $90 million per year for 10 years, FY 2021-2030.
