FORT HALL — The Fort Hall Business Council of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes has issued a formal resolution and public statement opposing data center development on the Fort Hall Reservation, as well as any such development within ceded lands, Treaty-protected areas, or locations that could adversely affect the Reservation or its residents.

The resolution was passed during a Council meeting on May 21, 2026, following recent discussions related to a proposed large-scale data center project near the former Hoku site in Pocatello. While the proposal was ultimately denied by local authorities, the Council determined it was necessary to formally affirm the Tribes’ position and protect long-term Tribal interests. (cont.)
