Great Basin culture

The Great Basin culture refers to the indigenous peoples who lived in the area around the Great Basin region, primarily in what is now Nevada, Utah, and surrounding areas, thousands of years before European contact. They relied on hunting, gathering, and fishing to survive, with a deep knowledge of local plants and game. Their lifestyle was often semi-nomadic, moving seasonally to access different resources. They created tools from stone, bone, and wood, and developed unique basketry and other crafts. Their rich oral histories and adaptation to the arid environment highlight a resilient and resourceful culture.
