 The historic Shoshone Indians of the Uto-Aztecan linguistic stock occupied territory in California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming; although most of them seemed to be settled in the Snake river area in Idaho.  Historical documents from the Lewis & Clark expedition often refer to the Shoshone as the “Snake Indians”. The actual name “Shoshone” means “The Valley People”. The name means “inland” or “in the valley”.  The Shoshone were few in number, their total population being somewhere in the area of 8,000. 

      In 1875, resident Ulysses S. Grant established a 100 square mile executive order reservation for the Lemhi Valley Shoshone, establishing the Lemhi Valley Indian Reservation for use by the Shoshone, Bannock, and Sheepeater tribes.
