The Duck Valley Indian Reservation (Shoshoni: Tokkapatih)[1][2] was established in the 19th century for the federally recognized Shoshone-Paiute Tribe.

[4] On April 16, 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes established the Duck Valley Western Shoshone Reservation by Executive Order; it was also used for Northern Paiute people.

Despite the Native Americans having a designated reservation, local settlers and some politicians tried to force the tribal members off the valuable Duck Valley lands in 1884, suggesting they should join their Western Shoshone kinsmen at the reservation at Fort Hall, Idaho.

President Grover Cleveland expanded the reservation by Executive Order on May 4, 1886, to accommodate the Paiute.

[5] President William Howard Taft expanded the reservation to its current size by Executive Order on July 1, 1910.
