Wind River Shoshones receive land settlement payments
The Wind River Shoshones will get 6.545 million dollars in the first of 12 payments totaling 15.7 million for land taken from three Shoshone tribes in 1868-69. Each of 2,128 enrolled Wind River Shoshones will receive about 2,400 dollars over a year, plus regular tribal oil and gas royalties. Funds go partly to tribal members and partly to the Tribal Business Council for approved projects, with plans for a tribal loan program to spur home building and business.
