The DOI Announces That It Will Return Over 18 Thousand Acres of Land to Native American Tribes
The U.S. Department of Interior announced Wednesday the restoration of more than 18,800 acres of land, known as the National Bison Range, so it can be returned to Indigenous tribes in Montana.
The transfer will be issued from the Interior to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), specifically to be held for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) of the Flathead Reservation in Montana.
The lands were already within the bounds of the CSKT reservation prior to being officially transferred.
