Sho-Ban Tribes seek return of aboriginal homelands of the Lemhi-Shoshone
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in south eastern Idaho (Sho-Ban) seeks return of aboriginal lands of the Lemhi-Shoshone near Lemhi Pass that have significant religious, cultural and historical importance to the Shoshone-Bannock. The exact acreage will be determined by a survey conducted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as directed by the Department of the interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) following a site visit and consultation with the elected leaders of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
The land will be located adjacent to the existing lands held by the Lemhi Band near Lemhi Pass and in the Lemhi River Valley. More >>

3/06/2008 - Fort Hall - In 1875 President U.S. Grant established a 100 square mile (640,000 acres) reservation for the Sacajawea's people the Lemhi-Shoshone, near Salmon (Idaho). In 1889 the United State Congress ceded the reservation back to the United States. In 1905 Chief Tendoy reluctantly agreed to move the tribe to the Fort Hall reservation to live with the other bands Shoshone and Bannocks. The removal of Sacagawea's descendants happened two years later in 1907. View timeline and research from Washington State Univerity conducted by Prof. Orlan Svingen.
- To return home to the land of their forefathers and raise their families in the place they call "home."

 Sacajawea's People: Who Are The Lemhi And Where Is Their Home?- By: Professor Orlan Svingen, History Department - Washington State University
- On February 12, 1875, President Grant established a 100 square mile executive order reservation for Sacajawea's People the Lemhi-Shoshone in the Lemhi Valley. Known as the Lemhi Valley Indian Reservation, the executive order established the reserve for "the exclusive use of the mixed tribes of Shoshone, Bannock, and Sheapeater Indians. Almost from the outset, however, the government and local residents began efforts to rescind the executive order reservation. They ultimately succeeded in 1905, and in 1907 the Lemhi began what many have called the "Lemhi Trail of Tears," which saw their forced removal from their ancestral homelands to the Fort Hall Indian Reservation.
Banished from their homeland in 1907 and seeking to return ever since, the Lemhi-Shoshone people create a dilemma for the nation. As it *prepares to commemorate the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, the United States needs to reassess its commitment to the Lemhi-Shoshone, to Sacagawea / Sacajawea's people. The obligation the nation acknowledges toward wolf and salmon recovery efforts is dwarfed by the responsibility it faces in treating fairly the people who played such a crucial role in advancing the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Sacajawea's People the Lemhi- Shoshones and the Salmon River Country
By: John W. Mann, WSU
Available online at University of Nebraska Press
On October 20, 2001, a crowd gathered just east of Salmon, Idaho, to dedicate the site of the Sacagawea / Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, and Education Center, in preparation for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.
In a bitter instance of irony, the American Indian peoples conducting the ceremony dedicating the land to the tribe, the city of Salmon, and the nation the Lemhi Shoshones, Sacagawea / Sacajawea's own people had been removed from their homeland nearly a hundred years earlier and had yet to regain official federal recognition as a tribe.
John W. W. Mann's book at long last tells the remarkable and inspiring story of the Lemhi Shoshones, from their distant beginning to their present struggles. Order here >>

Excellent book for kids
Lemhi-Shoshoni Girl who escaped from the Mandan-Hidatsa after being kidnapped along with Sacajawea.
The night she escaped was her night for freedom and the beginnng of an exciting 1000-mile journey back to her homelands in the Lemhi Valley - present day Salmon, Idaho.
"The Lemhi-Shoshone, Federal Recognition and the Bicentennial of The Corps of Discovery"
...the approach of the bicentennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark expedition presents the federal government with a unique opportunity.
The Lemhis have been refugees for nearly a century.
"The primary reason for the participation of Sacajawea as member of the Corps of Discovery was to facilitate the acquisition of horses from her people (the Lemhi-Shoshone) to cross the continental divide to the headwaters of the Pacific Ocean. As the oral history of the Lemhi Shoshoni is farther substantiated by the various journals of the Lewis and Clark party, the primary leader of the Lemhi-Shoshoni was Cameahwait the brother of Sacajawea...
