Goshute history

The Goshute are a Native American people originally inhabiting the Great Basin area of Nevada and Utah. They have a history rooted in hunting, gathering, and seasonal farming, adapting closely to their arid environment. Prior to European contact, they maintained a nomadic lifestyle, moving between water sources and hunting grounds. European settlers and later American expansion brought disruption, including land loss, forced relocations, and disease. Today, the Goshute work to preserve their culture, language, and traditions while managing tribal governance and land rights in a modern context. Their history reflects resilience amid ongoing challenges and efforts to maintain their heritage.
