In an effort to show respect and recognize their intrinsic ties to the land, we acknowledge that Idaho State University (ISU) is located on the traditional territory of the Shoshone, Bannock, and Paiute peoples, collectively known as the Newe. As a public research university, it is our responsibility to disseminate accurate histories of the regional Indigenous people and of our institutional relationship with them. It is ISU’s ongoing commitment to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and to our communities that we will collaborate on future educational discourse and activities.
