Shoshone-Bannock Tribe

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes are a sovereign tribal government based at Fort Hall in southeastern Idaho. They include Northern Shoshone and Bannock peoples and govern the Fort Hall Reservation under a constitution approved in 1936 and a corporate charter ratified in 1937. The seven-member Fort Hall Business Council, elected for staggered two-year terms, oversees governmental services, tribal lands and economic development. Tribal departments provide administration, public safety, courts, health and human services, education, enrollment and natural-resource management. The executive office coordinates governmental departments and assists tribal members in obtaining services. The council and executive offices are in the Tribal Business Center off Agency Road near Interstate 15 in Fort Hall.
