The Fort Hall Business Council values the life, well being and healthiness of our Tribal members, our community members and our surrounding communities. Recently the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes has seen an increase in cases across the Reservation and strongly encourages all residents to protect others by wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying home as much as possible.

Due to the high rate of spread of this disease, which does not discriminate between humans --it is important that we work collectively to reduce the spread and the risk of exposure to our community and follow CDC guidelines.

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes received $21.2 million from the U.S. Treasury Department under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (CRF) for fiscal relief for the coronavirus pandemic. The Fort Hall Business Council approved a one-time payment of $800 in economic assistance to enrolled Tribal members (adults and minors) who have experienced financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also provided an additional $400 to adults in a second round of funding. Many other programs were created to provide assistance to Tribal membership.
