Supporters said the measure
strengthens current law by re
quiring an end to overfishing,
science-based management of
U.S. fisheries and penalties for
illegal fishing in international

When Congress passed the

GARDINER, Mont. (AP) -
A bitterly cold Saturday morn
ing made for a slow start to the
Nez Perce Indian Tribe's newly
expanded bison and elk hunt.
A handful of trucks carrying
tribal m em bers cru ised the
roads in the Jardine area north
east of here, but nobody seemed
to be hunting very energetically,
the Bozeman Daily Chronicle
reported.
The hunters were primarily
interested in bison, according to
Cpl. April Skahan, of Nez Perce
F isheries C onservation E n
forcement, which enforces the
tribe's fishing and hunting laws.
But there weren't many bison
around, except for a group of
40 grazing on the Gardiner High
School football field, where they
are off limits to any type of
hunting.
Few b ison have left
Yellowstone National Park so
far this winter.
The group of hunters have
been issued tribal tags good for
six bison and five elk.
According to an 1855 treaty,
the tribe has hunting rights ’on
"open and unclaimed" land near
Yellowstone, which means they
can hunt on national forest land,
but not on state or private prop
erty.
Tribal hunters took six bison
last winter, the first time in mod
ern history the tribe exerted its
hunting rights here. All of those
anim als were killed close to
roads, making the processing of
the giant beasts relatively easy.
Elk are secondary targets,
Skahan told the Chronicle.
“If they're going to drive this
far, they want a buffalo,” she
said. “Some of them might take
an elk. But we've got elk at
home.”
However, it is the tribe's
claim on species other than bi
son that have wildlife managers
here concerned.
Tribal Executive Committee
Chairman Rebecca Miles said in
a Jan. 9 letter to Montana offi
cials that the tribe intends to is
sue tags this winter for 50 to 70
bison, plus 50 tags each for elk,
bighorn sheep, moose, antelope
and mountain goats.
MOUNT VERNON,
Wash. (AP) — Im ogene
Bow en, who overcam e
poverty and alcoholism to
become a leader in her
A m erican In d ian tribe
and a prominent Demo
cratic party activ ist, is
dead at 71.
Bowen, former chair
w om an o f the S kagit
County Democrats, presi
dent of the Washington
State Rainbow Coalition
and a member of former
Gov. Mike Lowry's “Citi
zen Cabinet,” died Jan. 5
at her home, friends and
relatives told The Seattle
Times.
“Imogene was one of a
half-dozen people you had
to talk to if you were a
politician headed to north
west Washington,” Lowry
said.
At her funeral last Tues
day, her son, Joe, a lawyer
in Mount Vernon, recalled
how former President Bill
Clinton went to greet her
after he finished a speech
she attended in Seattle in
1994, standing just behind
the rope line.
“I'll always remember
his people guiding him to
ward my mother, saying,
‘That's her right there,’” he
said.
Bow en was born in
Sauk and at age 10, her son
said, was taken from her
fam ily to a governm ent
boarding school in Oregon
where tribal customs and
language were banned, her
son said.
