Shoshone people

The Shoshone are a Native American people originally from the Snake River Plain, Great Basin, and surrounding areas in the western United States. They traditionally relied on hunting, gathering, and later some farming to sustain their communities. Known for their skill in horse riding and their rich cultural practices, the Shoshone have a history of resilience and adaptation. Today, they are recognized as distinct tribes, such as the Western Shoshone, emphasizing their ongoing cultural identity and heritage within the broader Native American history.
