[MCN] MWA Presents: In the Spirit of ʔAtatíc̓eʔ: the Untold Story of the National Bison Range

[MWA Shining Mountains Chapter]

Montana Wilderness Association invites you to join their Shining Mountains
Chapter for a showing of the film “In the Spirit of ʔAtatíc̓eʔ: the Untold
Story of the National Bison Range.” The film recounts how the unthinkable
came to pass in the nineteenth century as buffalo, slaughtered to the edge
of extinction, began to fade from the landscape until a Ql̓ispé (Pend
d’Oreille) man named ʔAtatíc̓eʔ and his son Ɫatatí helped the bison
survive by bringing buffalo calves over the Continental Divide and starting
a herd on the Flathead Indian Reservation. In the face of devastation,
these men did what they could and made a world of difference for everyone.

Following the film, Brian Upton and Shane Morigeau, members of the CSKT,
will be hosting a Q&A discussion. Brian Upton is a Tribal Attorney with the
Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ Legal Department, where he has
worked since 2003. Shane Morigeau is a citizen of the Confederated Salish
and Kootenai Tribes, where he works as a Tribal Attorney for the CSKT Legal
Department.   Shane is also a Montana State House Representative for his
district in Missoula.   Shane earned his J.D. from the University of
Montana and his L.L.M. from the University of Arizona.
