Fort Hall, Idaho (AP) 11-09

Most members of a religious sect looking to establish a permanent base on a tribal reservation in eastern Idaho now have until the end of the month to vacate the property.

Leaders of the Shoshone Bannock tribe say they don’t expect any problems with the Church of the Firstborn and the General Assembly of Heaven to meet the Oct. 29 deadline.

But tribal attorney Mark EchoHawk tells the Idaho State Journal the tribe is prepared to take legal action if necessary to enforce the deadline.

Members of the sect set up residence on the reservation earlier this year after moving from Utah and hoping to build permanent structures.

Last month, the tribe’s Land Use Policy Commission rejected a permit for the sect to build a three-story, 18,000-square-foot building on nearly four acres.
