Shoshone-Bannock Tribes

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are a Native American group located primarily in southeastern Idaho. They consist of two distinct tribes: the Shoshone and the Bannock, each with its own rich cultural heritage, languages, and traditions. Historically, they were nomadic, relying on hunting, fishing, and gathering. Today, the tribes are recognized by the federal government and engage in various economic and cultural initiatives, including managing the Fort Hall Reservation. They work to preserve their traditions, languages, and sovereignty while fostering community development and education.
