Fort Hall Indian Reservation

The Fort Hall Indian Reservation is an intertribal reservation in Idaho which is home to the Shoshone-Bannock tribes. The Shoshone and Bannock are historically distinct tribes who joined together at Fort Hall in the 1800's, where their descendants still live today. The Shoshones and Bannocks of Fort Hall share a single tribal government. Their tribal languages, Shoshone and Bannock, are still spoken by some people (especially elders) at the Fort Hall reservation today.
