As the new stewards of the National Bison Range, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are looking to the future with a vision for continued conservation, bolstering the herd, improving the landscape and telling the story of why the bison and the land they live on is so important to their culture and history.
âOur vision is to continue to keep it as is, and maybe enhance the bison that we see there, as well as managing the other species that are there, predominantly rocky mountain elk,â said Rich Janssen, head of the CSKT Natural Resources Department, this week. He said theyâre also looking to improve nutrition value of the vegetation on the land used for grazing. âWe want to keep them doing what theyâre doing, which is being wild animals.â
