The tribe's headquarters is in Ibapah, Utah, which is an English adaption from a native Goshute term, either from Ai'ba-pa (one name of the last chief of the tribe who was also known under the common chieftain name ta'bi) or from Ai-bim-pa / Ai'bĭm-pa ("White Clay Water" referring to the nearby Deep Creek).[1] Their own name is Ai'bĭm-pa / Aipimpaa Newe ("People of Deep Creek Valley").
Approximately 200 tribal members live on the reservation, which is located in White Pine County in eastern Nevada and Juab, and Tooele Counties in western Utah. The reservation was established by Executive Order on May 20, 1912. Today, the reservation is 122,085 acres (494.06 km2) large.[1]
The local economy is focused on agriculture, and some tribal members ranch cattle and cultivate hay.[2]
