DOI agency doesn't want tribe to manage bison range
Monday, November 24, 2003
The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are seeing opposition to their proposal to manage the National Bison Range in Montana. Some of it arises from non-Indians on the Flathead Reservation, who say the tribes don't have the expertise. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the Department of Interior, doesn't support the proposal either, and is limiting the areas in which the tribes could exert control. Under the 1994 amendments ot the Indian Self-Determination Act, the tribes have a right to manage the range, which is located entirely within reservation boundaries. Get the Story:
