"It’s not about ownership. Right from the very beginning of the dialogues, we said, ‘No one owns the buffalo.’ We all have our part in taking care of them. They’ve taken care of us for so many generations, and it’s now our turn to take care of them. How do we work together to make sure their life is good?”
- Whisper Camel-Means, member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and wildlife biologist
