Officials are investigating after signage at the Beartracks Bridge in Missoula was vandalized on Sunday.

One of the concrete and metal signs that sits near the bridge was taken out of the ground and was found on the stairs.

The sign highlights information on the Indigenous connection to the area for members of the community to read and learn about.

Law enforcement removed the displaced sign from the bridge and are storing it in evidence until it will be put back.

Paul Kim, with the ACLU of Montana, got in contact with local officials and law enforcement to figure out what happened.

“In order for historical justice to be enacted, first injustice has to be recognized, and so when someone takes steps to defecate an acknowledgement of historical injustice they are striking right at the potential that justice might be enacted in the future and that is not the type of town Missoula is. So I am happy for the prompt attention from the county commission and city council to address this immediately,” said Paul Kim with ACLU of Montana.

Missoula County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier says the sign won’t be gone for long.

“We are going to double down on the fact that this signage needs to be there. It's going to return to this location. And we're going to continue to tell the story of the cultural heritage of this place and what it means to truly be in an inclusive, diverse community moving forward,” Strohmaier said.

If you have any information on the vandalism you are asked to call the Missoula Police Department at 406-552-6300.
