Polson High School English teacher Linda Pete and PHS student Chrystal Woods display colorful posters during an Idle No More rally Friday in Pablo. The purpose of the rally and similar ones nationwide, is to draw attention to Native American land rights issues. Local demonstrators marched from Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal headquarters over the pedestrian bridge to Salish Kootenai College, ending with drumming, singing and a round dance in the Joe McDonald Health and Fitness Center parking lot.
