LOCAL HISTORY OF NORTHWESTERN BAND OF SHOSHONE LIVING

The Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation has lived in what is now northern Utah, eastern Idaho, and western Wyoming since time immemorial. Brad Parry, Vice-Chairman of the Northwestern Band, knows these histories well. His presentation will discuss the history of Shoshone migration patterns and interaction with fur trappers and Mormon pioneers. He calls on his background in natural resources to talk about how plants and animals were used to survive in this beautiful, difficult environment that the Shoshone call home.
