"Sacajawea's people were exiled to the Fort Hall Indian Reservaiton after an executive order established the 100 square mile Lemhi Valley Indian Reservation by an executive order from President Ulysses S. Grant on February 12, 1875. The executive order established the reserve for the exclusive use of the tribes of the Agaidikas (salmon-eaters) and the Tukudikas (sheep-eaters) later known as the Lemhi-Shoshone Sacajawea's People."
"Almost from the outset, however, the government and local residents began efforts to abolish the executive order reservation. They ultimately succeeded in 1905 and in 1907 the Lemhi began what many have called the "Lemhi Trail of Tears," when we were forced removed from our ancestral homelands to the Fort Hall Indian Reservation."
"Banished from our homelands in 1907 and seeking to return ever since, the Lemhi-Shoshone people create a dilemma for the nation. As it commemorates the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, the United States needs to reassess its commitment to the Lemhi people, to Sacajawea's people."

In remembrance of the Bear River Massacre
The Trust for Public Lands, a national nonprofit organization, this week turned over to the American Indian tribe 26 acres of sacred land in Idaho’s southeast corner that was the location of the Bear River Massacre.
Some 250 members of the tribe gathered Monday at their newly owned site two miles northwest of Preston, Idaho to bless the land where at least 250 members of the Shoshone were slaughtered by U.S. soldiers in 1863.
