The Bannock or '''Banate''' are a Native American people who traditionally lived in the northern Great Basin in what is now southeastern Oregon and Southern Idaho . They speak the Northern Paiute Language and are closely related to the Northern Paiute people. Some anthropologists consider the Bannock to be simply the northern-most bands of the Northern Paiute. The degree to which the Bannock considered themselves separate from the Northern Paiute at the time of contact is unclear. The Bannock developed a Horse Culture and associated closely with the Northern Shoshone . The Bannock are prominent in American History due to the Bannock War of 1878 . After the war, the Bannock moved onto the Fort Hall Indian Reservation with the Northern Shoshone and gradually their tribes merged. Today they are styled the Shoshone-Bannock. The Bannock live on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, 544,000 acres (2,201 km&2) in Southeastern Idaho. Lemhi and Northern Shoshone live with the Bannock Indians. |
