THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2003 The Department of Interior will keep talks over a tribal takeover of the National Bison Range in Montana secret, The Missoulian reports. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are seeking to manage the range through a self-governance compact. Talks are underway to produce an agreement for the takeover. A group called Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) contends the transfer is a violation of the Indian Self-Determination Act. Some non-Indians in Montana also oppose tribal control. Get the Story:
