Sitting atop the border of Montana and Idaho, Lemhi Pass connected the Agai Dikas (salmon eaters) to their aboriginal homelands in southwestern Montana. With the loss of their reservation in 1905 and their removal to the Fort Hall Reservation beginning in 1907, Lemhi Pass came to symbolize something quite different for these people. Stories abound about their ancestors being forced from their homes, even at gun point by some accounts. Since then, Agai Dikas have returned each summer to walk or run the 12 miles up Lemhi Pass. They do this to honor the memory of their ancestors who crossed the pass for hundreds of years and who later climbed Lemhi Pass for the last time in 1907 when they were removed to the south. |
