Bannock Tribe

The Bannock Tribe is a Native American group originally from the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest regions. Historically, they practiced a semi-nomadic lifestyle, engaging in hunting, fishing, and gathering. In the 19th century, they faced displacement and conflict due to westward expansion and U.S. government policies. Today, the Bannock are recognized as a distinct tribe, primarily residing in Idaho and Montana, and are members of the Shoshone-Bee Tribe. They work to preserve their cultural heritage, language, and traditions while advocating for economic development and tribal sovereignty.
