Review the treaties white man made with the Shoshone-Bannock tribes at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, at The Community Library in Ketchum.

Gaylen Edmo will talk about the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes’ history, life ways, sovereignty and traditional and contemporary relationships to the land in the presentation hosted by The Community Library and Wood River Museum of History & Culture.

He will discuss the Treaty Era and Indian Removal, including the Fort Bridger Treaty. And he will touch on the Tribes’ water and hunting rights, as well as current challenges.

“The Wood River Museum of History & Culture aims to provide regular opportunities to learn more about Shoshone-Bannock tribal history,” said Mary Tyson, director of the Center for Regional History. “To understand treaty history is to better understand our current collective cultural and social landscape.”

Edmo, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Boise State University in Environmental Studies with a minor in Sustainability. He has a law degree from the University of Idaho with emphases in Federal Indian Law and Natural Resources-Environmental Law.

He has clerked for Larry Echohawk’s law firm in Pocatello, the Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, Colo., and the U.S.  District Court in Boise. He also has worked at the Tribal Water Resources Department and the Tribal Fish and wildlife Department.

He is a lifelong hunter of yaha, or rock chuck, practicing his Tribes’ treaty right to hunt and fish for those gamey little critters, as well as big game and salmon upon the unoccupied lands of the United States.

Reserve your seat to see the presentation in person at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/14071379. The program also will be livestreamed and available to watch later at https://vimeo.com/event/5015060.
