In the record
The United States made one treaty or agreement that names Bannock as a party: Fort Bridger Treaty of 1868 (Eastern Shoshone and Bannock).
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 3 cessions of land from Bannock: about 45 million acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. 2 of them came through treaties and agreements. The largest was Land of the Bannock and Shoshoni in several states, ceded 1868 (area 520), about 45 million acres, ceded under Fort Bridger Treaty of 1868 (Eastern Shoshone and Bannock).
One court case turned on its rights: Ward v. Race Horse.
Today, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
