Lewis and Clark in Lemhi County

This community is named for a great man: Tendoy, chief of the Lemhi Shoshone from 1863 to 1907. During the Nez Perce , Bannock and Sheepeater troubles of the 1870s, Tendoy preserved the peace in Lemhi County. In gratitude, prominent local settlers supported the chief's staunch resistance to government efforts to move the Lemhis to the Fort Hall reservation near Pocatello.
In 1892 Congress voted Tendoy a monthly pension; he was the only Indian chief ever so honored. Tendoy died on Agency Creek in 1907, the year the government closed the Lemhi reservation and exiled the Lemhi Shoshone from this valley.

"we must consede (sic) him a place among the heroes of the age... From any standpoint, Tin Doi was a grand old man, with a strong personality, an indomitable will. His influence over his tribe was always for good." - Lemhi Herald, May 16, 1907
