Southern Shoshone

The Southern Shoshone are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Basin region, primarily in present-day Nevada and Utah. They are part of the larger Shoshone Nation and have a rich cultural heritage rooted in hunting, gathering, and traditional practices. Historically, they faced displacement due to U.S. expansion and settlement, but they have maintained their cultural identity through language, ceremonies, and community efforts. Today, the Southern Shoshone work to preserve their traditions, land rights, and sovereignty, while also participating in modern economic and social initiatives to support their community.
