"I Will Be Meat for My Salish"

"I Will Be Meat for My Salish": The Montana Writers Project and the Buffalo of the Flathead Indian Reservation

The story of the Salish's relationship to the buffalo – including their role in protecting the species – is preserved in this collection, which includes all extant interviews from the Montana Writers Project conducted on the Flathead Reservation. These firsthand accounts of Salish elders – legends, information about traditional lifeways, biographies of important figures on the reservation, and most of all, buffalo – offer a glimpse into tribal life as it was lived in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
