A company owned by the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation has been awarded a federal contract worth up to $100 million.

As a preferred source with the Department of Labor, NWB Technology will offer a variety of information technology services to federal agencies. The company already has a $1 million deal with the FBI for language translation services.

The small tribe is based in Utah and obtained its first land in more than a century with the return of a massacre site.
