Native Tribes Celebrate Montana Land Ownership and Bison Range (野牛牧场) Restoration

Moiese, Mont. — A narrow road takes visitors zig-zagging up a mountain, and, if they’re lucky, they’ll see bison walking about freely. The bison range sits on more than 18,000 acres of undeveloped land in northwest Montana — land     1     (take) by the U.S. Government without the approval of Salish and Kootenai Tribes. In 2020, Congress passed a law     2     management of the land is transferred from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service back to Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland,     3     signed off on the law last year, said with the loss of tribal homelands in the early 1900s and decrease of bison herds, tribes lost traditional connections with the mammal. “But     4       that tragedy and loss, we are still here. You are still here. And that’s     5     to celebrate,” She said the people then relied on bison for food and livelihood, believing future generations would do the same.

“We all know history took a cruel and tragic turn after that,” Haaland said, and the tribes didn’t believe that the history     6     (represent) accurately at the bison range’s visitor center. Whisper Camel-Means, the tribes division manager for the wildlife refuge, said under the Fish and Wildlife Service supervision, the exhibits there previously used a different tribes’ word for bison, which they     7     not accept.

The Salish and Kootenai Tribes have corrected inaccuracies at the visitor center located on the Flathead reservation near the museum. The visitor center is now open,     8     (feature) new exhibits that better reflect the tribes’ involvement in bison conservation. Stephanie Gillin, education program manager for the tribes’ natural resources program, said she worked with cultural committees to get the correct history for the new exhibits. “We listen to our elders about some stuff we have to protect     9     if we don’t put it out there, we lose what it gives to us — you know, we lost that power it gives us,” she said.

The generational emotional wound, Gillin said, is still felt today within tribal communities and correcting the information at the visitor center is about respecting and preserving the tribes’ history.

The tribes are working to build a     10     (big) museum that will be closer to U.S. Highway 93. It’s a push to share their history with more people.
