Indians Go All Out in War Efforts at Fort Hall
Indian communities on the Fort Hall reservation in Idaho mobilize for wartime needs. Ban nacks and Shoshones boost victory gardens, gather scrap metal and tires, raise livestock, and send men and women to factories and schools. Over 6,000 count in service with many at work in plane plants and shipyards. The effort aligns with Office of Indian Affairs praise and the Iroquois Confederacy wartime stance.
