Tribes of Idaho
Schitsu’umsh (Coeur d’Alene)
For thousands of years the Schitsu'umsh people camped the shores of the lakes and streams, rode canoes across their waters, and walked the forests and mountains of what is now North Idaho and Eastern Washington.
Ktunaxa (Kootenai)
Located in Northern Idaho, the Kootenai are connected to the Upper Columbia United Tribes.
Nimiipuu (Nez Perce)
Originally, the Nimiipuu people occupied an area that included parts of present-day Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. They moved throughout this region and parts of what are now Montana and Wyoming to fish, hunt, and trade.
Newe (Shoshone-Bannock)
The Fort Hall Reservation is located in the eastern Snake River Plain of southeastern Idaho. It is comprised of lands that lie north and west of the town of Pocatello. The Snake River, Blackfoot River, and the American Falls Reservoir border the reservation on the north and northwest.
Numu (Shoshone-Paiute)
The Tribes once freely occupied the land of their forefather's and foremother's in the tri-state area of what are now Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon. Descendents of the Western Shoshone and the Northern Paiute occupy the Duck Valley Indian Reservation of Idaho and Nevada.
