FORT HALL — The Sho-Ban News evolved back in 1970 as a monthly newspaper after Lorraine P. Edmo graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Montana, Missoula.

She wanted to do something on the reservation after graduation, so she talked to the tribal council and asked them to support a tribal newspaper, she started pulling things together and was hired as editor.

She requested them to pay for printing and producing the newspaper once a month. Lorraine did the reporting and the photos — it was printed at the Blackfoot News. All her writing was done on an electric typewriter and she had a little office at the 1896 building.

Lorraine did 11 or 12 issues and she still has copies of them. (cont.)
