In the record
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Northwestern Shoshone: Box Elder (Fort Bridger) 1863: no recognized title, no compensation (Northwestern Shoshone). One court case turned on its rights: Northwestern Bands of Shoshone Indians v. United States.
The records group it with Shoshone (Shoshoni). Today, Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
