Paiute people

The Paiute people are indigenous tribes native to the Great Basin region of the western United States, including parts of Nevada, California, Oregon, and Idaho. They have a rich cultural heritage centered around hunting, gathering, and agriculture, with histories dating back thousands of years. Paiutes traditionally relied on acorns, seeds, and game animals for sustenance, and they developed unique social structures and spiritual practices. Today, many Paiute communities work to preserve their language, traditions, and land rights while also engaging with modern society. They continue to honor their heritage while adapting to contemporary life.
