Pocatello (Shoshoni chief)


 

Chief Pocatello (1815–October 1884) was a leader of Shoshoni, a Native American people in western North America. He led attacks against early settlers during a time of increasing strife between emigrants and Native Americans. After making peace with the United States, he moved his people to their present reservation in Idaho and led the Shoshoni during their struggle to survive following their relocation. The city of Pocatello, Idaho is named in his honor.
