In the Spirit of ʔAtatíc̓eʔ The Untold Story of the National Bison Range

“In the Spirit of ʔAtatíc̓eʔ” shares the true story, long told by Tribal elders but not widely shared until now, of how buffalo first came to the Flathead Indian Reservation. Audiences will learn how the unthinkable came to pass in the nineteenth century as buffalo, slaughtered to the edge of extinction, began to fade from the landscape until a Ql̓ispé (Pend d’Oreille) man named ʔAtatíc̓eʔ (Falcon Robe) and his son Ɫatatí (Little Falcon Robe) helped the bison survive by bringing buffalo calves over the Continental Divide and starting a herd on the Reservation. Using a cross-section of Tribal members to relate their history, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and filmmaker Daniel Glick produced the film to unveil a narrative that continues to reverberate today.
