Join The Community Library and Wood River Museum of History + Culture for a group field trip to the Fort Hall's Shoshone Bannock 60th Annual Indian Festival!

The Tribal Room at the Wood River Museum of History + Culture provides an introduction to Shoshone-Bannock history and culture in Central Idaho. This field trip promises a dynamic experience to learn more about that history and culture by visiting the Fort Hall Reservation during the annual Shoshone-Bannock Indian Festival. Bailey Dann and Nolan Brown, of the Language and Culture Preservation Office at Fort Hall, will be our guides as we explore arts and crafts, traditional dancing, relay races, and more.
