Bannocks sign up as scouts amid Nez Perce danger
At Fort Hall Idaho a council with Fort Hall commandant and Agent Danilson led Bannock head men to approve enlistment of many Bannocks as scouts against the Nez Perces, easing fears of hostility. A large Indian party crossed toward Henrys Lake, suspected hostiles, while word to General Howard notes a possible shift toward the Canadian style of indirect rule and legal protections for Indians under a mounted police system.
