Shoshone-Paiute Tribe of the Duck Valley Reservation

Bruneau, ID

The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes is developing a resort and casino along Interstate 84 halfway between Boise and Mountain Home. The Duck Valley Indian Reservation spans about 450 square miles in the southwest corner of Idaho, half split into parts of Nevada.

For decades, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes were the only tribe in Idaho without gaming revenue. But the proposed resort and casino is estimated to generate tens of millions of dollars annually for Idaho’s economy and create thousands of regional jobs. The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes also plan to share 5% of their net gaming revenues to support local schools and education programs.

Shoshone-Paiute Chairman Brian Mason said in a press release he dreams of a future where tribal members have the resources, education, health care and employment opportunities they need to sustain their families and preserve their culture.
