message: This sentence needs to be edited:
The area of the city along the Portneuf River was uninhabited for several years by the Shoshoni and Bannock peoples for several centuries before the arrival of Europeans into the area in the early 19th century. In 1834, Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth, a U.S. fur trader, established Fort Hall as a trading post north of the present location of the city.
how long was Pocatello inhabited/uninhabited? I can infer the answer from the above, but I don't know if that's correct.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.82.126.100 (talk) 14:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Ummm...no there isn't a Mormon college in Pocatello...
What are you talking about, a mormon college???  I lived there over 25 years and i have never heard of it if there is...
You may be thinking of nearby Brigham Young University Idaho, formerly known as Ricks College, which is located in Rexburg, Idaho, about an hour and a half to the north.
The closest "mormon" college is BYU-Idaho (formerly, Ricks College) located 70 miles to the north in Rexburg, ID.  There is an LDS institute located adjacent to the Idaho State University campus, which is a "mormon" seminary, if you will, where LDS members (mormons) can go to take classes related to their faith and participate in social events and other church-related activities.  It is not a degree granting institution but intended "to compliment academic studies with a study of the gospel." (Most major universities and many smaller ones across the US and Canada have such a facility, particularly in the west.)."The College Guide for Latter-day Saints", 2nd Printing, 1996, Legacy Communications, Atlanta, GA.  Their are also two other church buildings adjacent to the campus as well for the purpose of serving the large LDS student population at ISU.  At the highschool level, released-time seminaries exist for LDS students of that age group at all three of the local highschools.          GeoPopID (talk) 10:31, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, he was a Shoshone chief. It's mentioned twice in the first hundred words or so of the article, and there is a link to his article too. GreenGlass(talk) 01:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: PS: I read the Chief Pocatello article, and the one on the Bear River Massacre. Very interesting -- the story exhibits many tragic parallels with that of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce. Sorry to have been so ignorant! Sca (talk) 14:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No need for apologies! We all have those tired days. And I agree, he was certainly an interesting character in history. GreenGlass(talk) 02:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The article states there a metro population of 90,656. Yet the entire population of Bannock County(according to the wiki page) is only 82,839. How is that possible?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.84.89 (talk) 22:02, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
