Salish elder Johnny Arlee bows his head in prayer during the celebration of the Bison Range transfer on Friday, May 20. Arlee led multiple prayers and speeches throughout the weekend, and told visitors about praying for the return of the Bison Range to tribal ownership. “When I was in Ravalli coming over the hill, I seen buffalo there and I sang that song, the buffalo calling song,” Arlee said. “And in my heart I was praying for our people and all the good we could do if we got that land back. Now I think, man, that song is powerful.” Photo by Sarah Mosquera / Montana Free Press
