 | | LOLO PASS – No longer merely a backdrop for speech-making by white men, Indians from the Nez Perce, Flathead and Colville reservations Friday came to the mountain pass where their ancestors once gathered to remember a shared and grievous past, celebrate a present-day success and look hopefully to the future. |
 | | The new Lolo Pass visitor’ center and rest area is evidence of “a true partnership between Native Americans and non-Indians,” said Tony Incashola, a cultural leader of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. |
 | | The Salish people came to Lolo Pass from the east, bringing animal meat and skins collected in the Bitterroot Valley and on their hunting trips to the Great Plains. |
