25th Anniversary Idaho State Historical Society’s Esto Perpetua Award Program

MINIDOKA, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Idaho State Historical Society recently announced the winners of this year’s Esto Perpetua Award. This award is given each year to historical and cultural organizations for their stellar and impactful work in preserving and promoting Idaho history in communities across the state.

This year is also notable because it marks the 25th year for the agency to hand out these awards and praise. One of the 14 winners of the 2024 Esto’s included the Friends of Minidoka in the Magic Valley area.

They were named as an award winner for preserving the history at the Minidoka National Historic Site, which shows a timeline of the Japanese concentration camps that were stationed in Idaho during World War II.

“We’re really tankful to the Idaho State Historical Society for recognizing our work in order to preserve and protect this history,” said the Executive Director of Friends of Minidoka, Robyn Achilles. “It’s really satisfying to know how much they value this history, and this wouldn’t be possible without the Minidoka National Historic Site and the National Park Service recognizing the importance of this history as well.”

Other awardees of 2024 include:

§ Coeur d’ Alene Tribe § Kootenai Tribe of Idaho

§ Nez Perce Tribes § Shoshone-Bannock Tribes

§ Shoshone-Paiute Tribes § College of Idaho

§ Friends of Minidoka § Hummel Architects

Town Hall to address future of Medicaid expansion in Idaho – Local News 8

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Nearly two-thirds of Idaho voters approved Medicaid expansion, but local leaders say that coverage is now at risk.

According to the organizers of a town hall set for Saturday, February 28, proposed changes could severely impact Idaho’s rural hospitals and leave thousands of residents without access to healthcare.

The town hall, titled “Protecting What Works: Medicaid Expansion in Idaho,” will take place at Chubbuck City Hall from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

A panel of representatives from across the healthcare sector — including home health, hospitals, and public and community health — will answer questions about how Medicaid expansion works in Idaho and how potential cuts could affect communities. Organizers say there will also be time for audience questions.

One of the event organizers told Local News 8 why the discussion is important:

“There have been conversations in the last couple of legislative sessions about either fully repealing Medicaid expansion or making significant cuts to Medicaid,” Shantay Boxham, the organizer, said. “This is an educational forum to ensure voters and community members have the information they need about what the program is, what’s at stake, and how it supports Idaho and Idahoans.”

There are limited seats available for the meeting. To reserve a spot, visit members.pocatello.com.

Local News 8 will continue to follow this story and have updates tomorrow.
