Description

This grant will support a film project that will cover the recent return of land, as well as the land management and environmental work, being done by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT). After many years of land co-management with the Bureau of Land Management, 19,000 acres of land as part of the former “National” Bison Range Park was returned to the CSKT. The documentary film project will support efforts to tell the CSKT story. As noted in the proposal, filmmakers are in talks with ABC News to distribute their story. This will help amplify stories of Native communities and their efforts to have land returned.
