The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, a federally recognized sovereign nation located in southeast Idaho, govern themselves and exercise their inherent and treaty reserved rights. With a rich history dating back to the establishment of the Fort Hall Reservation in 1867, the Tribes continue to preserve their language, culture, and traditions. The Reservation, divided into five districts, is home to approximately 6,000 tribal members and encompasses a diverse range of departments and services, including government, natural resources, health, education, and business enterprises.
As stewards of their land, the Tribes prioritize the protection and management of natural resources, including energy, land use, fish and wildlife, and water resources. They also provide essential services to their community, such as child support, healthcare, transportation, and utilities. With a strong focus on education, the Tribes offer early childhood programs, elementary and high schools, and higher education opportunities through their Tribal Youth Education Program. Visitors to the area can explore the vibrant culture and history of the Shoshone-Bannock people at the Tribal Museum and experience the excitement of gaming and entertainment at the Shoshone-Bannock Gaming facilities.
