This cemetery is located by the old Curlew School. Take the first left turn after you cross the bridge, then up the hill past the garage. You will see the fence.

I visited this cemetery on Jul 19, 2001. It is appears to be getting no care, although a few years ago, the tribal council for the Colville Federation went around and fenced all the Indian Cemeteries they could locate. This has protected them a lot.

I think the families of the deceased care for each burial area, when there is family left. When not, they get neglected. It does not look like this one is being used anymore.
