The Reservation land was previously a military reservation, known as Camp McGarry, established by Executive Order in 1867. The military reservation was abandoned in 1871 and transferred from the War Department to the Department of Interior. Under the General Allotment Act of 1887 (24 Stat. 388) several tribal members received trust allotments within the former military reservation in the 1890's and early 1900's. January 14, 1913 by authority of Executive Order #1681-5,026 acres
March 3, 1928-PL 89 (45 Stat. 160)
June 10, 1959 (73 Stat. 64)
December 15, 1971 (85 Stat. 643). Around 1949-1950 the tribe purchased several trust allotments belonging to individual tribal members which are now held in trust for the Tribe.

Land Base

12,573 acres (10,098 held in trust for the tribe, 765 acres are allotments held in trust for individuals). Summit Lake is a "terminal" lake; meaning that no water flows out of it. Total lake surface acreage fluctuates between 600 to 900 acres, depending on annual precipitation.

Established

The Treaty of Ruby Valley in 1863, granted the tribe ownership of much of eastern Nevada. When, nearly a century later, the government agreed to pay $26 million in compensation, the tribe rejected the offer, insisting on a return of the land instead. At the beginning of the 20th century there was but a single Western Shoshone reservation, located in Duck Valley along the Nevada-Idaho border. The BIA planned to coerce all the Shoshones of the Great Basin region to move there. Ultimately, less than one-third of them agreed to this arrangement, however, so the government encouraged Northern Paiutes from Oregon and Nevada to join the Western Shoshones still not living on reservation land, the government set aside thousands of acres for various "colonies" (in California) as alternatives to full-size reservations like Duck Valley. The four Nevada Bands (three colonies & one Reservation) that united to form the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone are the Elko Band, Battle Mountain Band, Wells Band, and the South Fork Reservation.

Land Base

16,713 acres, made up of the following colonies: Battle Mountain Band-683.3 acres, Elko Band-542.8, South Fork Band 15,680, Wells Band-80 acres

Government

Organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (49 Stat. 984) as amended. Constitution and By-Laws of the Te-Moak Bands of Western Shoshone Indians approved August 24, 1938. Amended Constitution on August 26, 1982 as the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada.

The Reservation land was previously a military reservation, known as Camp McGarry, established by Executive Order in 1867. The military reservation was abandoned in 1871 and transferred from the War Department to the Department of Interior. Under the General Allotment Act of 1887 (24 Stat. 388) several tribal members received trust allotments within the former military reservation in the 1890's and early 1900's. January 14, 1913 by authority of Executive Order #1681-5,026 acres
March 3, 1928-PL 89 (45 Stat. 160)
June 10, 1959 (73 Stat. 64)
December 15, 1971 (85 Stat. 643). Around 1949-1950 the tribe purchased several trust allotments belonging to individual tribal members which are now held in trust for the Tribe.

Land Base

12,573 acres (10,098 held in trust for the tribe, 765 acres are allotments held in trust for individuals). Summit Lake is a "terminal" lake; meaning that no water flows out of it. Total lake surface acreage fluctuates between 600 to 900 acres, depending on annual precipitation.

Government

Northern Paiute Agi Panina Ticutta (Lake Fish Eaters), the Tribe is federally recognized. On May 25, 1935, the Tribe accepted by election the Indian Reorganization Act of June 1934. The Tribe operated under the Constitution and By-Laws adopted by the Tribe and approved by the Secretary of Interior on January 8, 1965.

Established

The Treaty of Ruby Valley in 1863, granted the tribe ownership of much of eastern Nevada. When, nearly a century later, the government agreed to pay $26 million in compensation, the tribe rejected the offer, insisting on a return of the land instead. At the beginning of the 20th century there was but a single Western Shoshone reservation, located in Duck Valley along the Nevada-Idaho border. The BIA planned to coerce all the Shoshones of the Great Basin region to move there. Ultimately, less than one-third of them agreed to this arrangement, however, so the government encouraged Northern Paiutes from Oregon and Nevada to join the Western Shoshones still not living on reservation land, the government set aside thousands of acres for various "colonies" (in California) as alternatives to full-size reservations like Duck Valley. The four Nevada Bands (three colonies & one Reservation) that united to form the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone are the Elko Band, Battle Mountain Band, Wells Band, and the South Fork Reservation.

Land Base

16,713 acres, made up of the following colonies: Battle Mountain Band-683.3 acres, Elko Band-542.8, South Fork Band 15,680, Wells Band-80 acres

Government

Organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (49 Stat. 984) as amended. Constitution and By-Laws of the Te-Moak Bands of Western Shoshone Indians approved August 24, 1938. Amended Constitution on August 26, 1982 as the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada.

The Reservation land was previously a military reservation, known as Camp McGarry, established by Executive Order in 1867. The military reservation was abandoned in 1871 and transferred from the War Department to the Department of Interior. Under the General Allotment Act of 1887 (24 Stat. 388) several tribal members received trust allotments within the former military reservation in the 1890's and early 1900's. January 14, 1913 by authority of Executive Order #1681-5,026 acres
March 3, 1928-PL 89 (45 Stat. 160)
June 10, 1959 (73 Stat. 64)
December 15, 1971 (85 Stat. 643). Around 1949-1950 the tribe purchased several trust allotments belonging to individual tribal members which are now held in trust for the Tribe.

Land Base

12,573 acres (10,098 held in trust for the tribe, 765 acres are allotments held in trust for individuals). Summit Lake is a "terminal" lake; meaning that no water flows out of it. Total lake surface acreage fluctuates between 600 to 900 acres, depending on annual precipitation.

Government

Northern Paiute Agi Panina Ticutta (Lake Fish Eaters), the Tribe is federally recognized. On May 25, 1935, the Tribe accepted by election the Indian Reorganization Act of June 1934. The Tribe operated under the Constitution and By-Laws adopted by the Tribe and approved by the Secretary of Interior on January 8, 1965.

Established

The Treaty of Ruby Valley in 1863, granted the tribe ownership of much of eastern Nevada. When, nearly a century later, the government agreed to pay $26 million in compensation, the tribe rejected the offer, insisting on a return of the land instead. At the beginning of the 20th century there was but a single Western Shoshone reservation, located in Duck Valley along the Nevada-Idaho border. The BIA planned to coerce all the Shoshones of the Great Basin region to move there. Ultimately, less than one-third of them agreed to this arrangement, however, so the government encouraged Northern Paiutes from Oregon and Nevada to join the Western Shoshones still not living on reservation land, the government set aside thousands of acres for various "colonies" (in California) as alternatives to full-size reservations like Duck Valley. The four Nevada Bands (three colonies & one Reservation) that united to form the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone are the Elko Band, Battle Mountain Band, Wells Band, and the South Fork Reservation.

Land Base

16,713 acres, made up of the following colonies: Battle Mountain Band-683.3 acres, Elko Band-542.8, South Fork Band 15,680, Wells Band-80 acres

Government

Organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (49 Stat. 984) as amended. Constitution and By-Laws of the Te-Moak Bands of Western Shoshone Indians approved August 24, 1938. Amended Constitution on August 26, 1982 as the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada.
