Location
Wow! It looks like there is a tribal group that has less land than the tribes of the west coast. The tribes of the mountains lived in the southern interior of British Columbia and Alberta.
Government & Legal System
The tribes of the mountains had a somewhat democratic system of government. Men of a village were allowed to have a say in the major decision making. However, the chief was given the most power when it came to these decisions. Though, not all of the tribes in the mountains had a government like this. For example, the Ktunaxa tribe gave the most power to the elders when it came to making decisions because elders had the most life experience and were considered very wise. Some tribes even had a council of elders.
