The Shoshoni
Omtale
The Shoshoni were a large group of people belonging to several different independent nations, each of which spoke a similar language. These people also shared similar religions and handicrafts. After the Europeans arrived, it is estimated that about 90 percent of the Shoshoni population died from diseases such as smallpox and measles. The Shoshoni suffered many hardships as a result of wars in the early and mid-19th century. Today, a small number of Shoshoni nations live on reservations, but their lifestyle is very different from how it was before the Europeans arrived. This book provides readers with essential information about Shoshoni history and the continued struggle for American Indians' rights.
