Business description
The Comanche Nation Shoshone Reunion is managed by the Comanche Nation. We provide a service to our members by reuniting with the other Shoshoneans.
The Shoshone Reunion was organized and began in 2000 at Fort Hall, Idaho. The idea was discussed for many years before with questions of traditions and origins of the Shoshone Tribes and the Comanche which broke away, and also the relationship of the Ute and Paiute tribes. A small interested group of individuals gathered at Ft Hall and decided to explore and establish the truths that surround the relationships. The motivating factors were: Tribes were miles apart up to 3,000 miles or so and spoke the same language. The historical fact was that they were together as one group living and existing in close proximity to one another. A number reasons were posed for the separation of the tribes who now have established reservations and home land areas in several states. There was a desire to reunite and learn about each other.With this basic knowledge, The Ft. Hall Shoshone-Bannock Tribe hosted the first reunion. They hosted the Second reunion as well, with concurrence from tribes attending. The interest grew and the Comanche Nation hosted the Third Reunion. The Eastern Shoshone tribe hosted the Fourth reunion in Wyoming. The Fifth Reunion was hosted by the Shoshone Tribes in Elko, Nevada. The Sixth Reunion was held in Fort Hall, Ida. by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. Every reunion provided much Information, shared customs, and traditions in many phases of tribal living. Highlighted in every reunion was the hospitality that each tribes extended to its visitors. The histories began to come together and the tribes seem to become comfortable with each other. Ideas began to flow so that the two day events seem to be too brief so it is extended to three days. Much consideration was given to the climate and the season that would be comfortable to visitors from other states. Many areas are acknowledged and groups honored. But through each one the fact that we are One People in language and tradition but learn new customs in food and practices which makes us more knowledgeable and proud to be together.-Late Reeves Nahwooksy
