The current HOIST program is a continuation of the HOIST project founded in 1994 by Upward Bound and Idaho EPSCoR at the University of Idaho. This educational initiative, now funded by the State of Idaho, involves a partnership between tribes in Idaho, including the Nez Perce, Coeur d'Alene, Shoshone-Bannock, Shoshone-Paiute, and Kootenai, other tribes of the Greater Northwest, the school and community organizations affiliated with these tribes, and the University of Idaho.
