The reason given for this practice was the scarcity of forage due to heavy grazing of the range by ranchers in the park.

The tribes note that a tribal member’s bison herd was the source of the present herd that populates the range.
In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt arranged the purchase of 18,500 acres from the tribes of the Flathead Reservation for $1.56 an acre.

The proposed revisions of the three forests' plans, outlined in a 24-page document released Monday, include everything from expanding the use of managed fire to benefit wilderness and non-wilderness forests, providing direction on how wilderness dams should be managed to addressing forested public lands that border increasingly developed private boundaries.
Proposing to use some prescribed fire in wilderness would be a change only in the Flathead's long-range plan, officials said, since the current Bitterroot plan includes language allowing it, but requires environmental studies in advance.
With each of the half-dozen major issues and sub-issues identified in their joint proposal, the Bitterroot, Lolo and Flathead forests tried to say where they would be leaning if they had to decide how to revise the long-range management plans today, Sperry said.
