Flathead Tribe perfect choice

Sat., April 9, 2016

Jon Malcolm (“Demand refuge information,” April 6) laments the proposal to entrust the National Bison Range, which is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation, to the Flathead Tribe asserting they are a “local special interest group”?

I thought they were a sovereign nation. And their history and experience with living in harmony with bison makes them an excellent choice.
