Summary
"The written records of Salish, Pend d'Oreille, and Kootenai Indian history on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana between 1907 and 1911 were dominated by the continued complaints against allotting and opening the reservation.

Tribal members recognized that the allotment policy was driven by the greed of white men and the desire of whites to get tribal assets at bargain prices. The tribes were being robbed and were no willing to be quiet about it. At the same time as the tribes were fighting against the theft of their lands, they had to deal with Montana state efforts to control tribal hunting rights on and off the reservation"--
