Current land holdings

Location of the land holdings of the Band

The tribe owns a piece of land near the Utah-Idaho border, which is 189 acres (76 ha).[5][4] It is located near Washakie, Utah. According to Darren Parry, the Northwestern Band does not consider this land a reservation as they own the land and are self-sustaining, not relying on federal sponsorship.[6]

Government

The tribe's headquarters is in Brigham City, Utah,[1] but they also have a tribal office in Pocatello, Idaho. The tribe is governed by a democratically elected, seven-member tribal council. The current administration is as follows:

  • Chairman: Dennis Alex
  • Vice-Chairman, Website and Social Media Manager: Bradley Parry
  • Secretary: Alicia Martinez
  • Treasurer, EPA + Roads Pocatello Office Manager : Jason S. Walker
  • Council Member, Fundraising: Darren Parry
  • Council Member: Shane Warner
  • Council Member, Economic Development: Jeffrey Parry

Shane Warner was formerly Treasurer.[7]

The Northwestern Band of Shoshone ratified their constitution on August in 1987.[1]

Economic development

In 2008, the Northwestern Band began construction on a 100-megawatt geothermal plant near Honeyville, Utah, near the Utah-Idaho Border.[5]

Language

Traditionally, the Northwestern Band of Shoshone Tribe speaks the Northern Shoshoni dialect of the Shoshoni language, which is written in the Latin script.[2]
