The Salish people were moved to reservations in the 1850s, primarily as a result of treaties with the U.S. government. The establishment of the Flathead Reservation in Montana in 1855 was a significant event for the Salish, who were part of a larger group of tribes in the region. The displacement and reservation policies were part of broader efforts to control Native American populations and their lands during that period.
