The '''Shoshone''' are a Native American tribe with three large divisions: the Northern, the Western and the Eastern. The Northern concentrated in eastern [[Idaho]], western [[Wyoming]], and north-eastern [[Utah]]. The Eastern lived in Wyoming, northern [[Colorado]] and [[Montana]]. Conflict with the [[Blackfoot Indians|Blackfoot]], [[Crow Indians|Crow]], [[Lakota people|Lakota]], [[Cheyenne Indians|Cheyenne]]s, and [[Arapaho]]s pushed them south and westward after about 1750. The Western ranged from central Idaho, northwestern Utah, central [[Nevada]], and in [[California]] about [[Death Valley]] and [[Panamint Valley]]. This group is sometimes called the Panamint. The Idaho groups of Western Shoshone were called Tukuaduka, or Sheep Eaters while the Nevada/Utah ones were called the Gosiute and the Toi Ticutta (cattail eaters).

This article is about the Native American tribe. For other uses of the term, see Shoshone (disambiguation).


The Shoshone are a Native American tribe with three large divisions: the Northern, the Western and the Eastern. The Northern concentrated in eastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and north-eastern Utah. The Eastern lived in Wyoming, northern Colorado and Montana. Conflict with the Blackfoot, Crow, Lakota, Cheyennes, and Arapahos pushed them south and westward after about 1750. The Western ranged from central Idaho, northwestern Utah, central Nevada, and in California about Death Valley and Panamint Valley. This group is sometimes called the Panamint. The Idaho groups of Western Shoshone were called Tukuaduka, or Sheep Eaters while the Nevada/Utah ones were called the Gosiute and the Toi Ticutta (cattail eaters).

The estimated population of Northern and Western Shoshone was 4,500 in 1845. 3,650 Northern Shoshone and 1,201 Western Shoshone were counted in 1937 by the United States Office of Indian Affairs.

The Shoshone lived in mainly New Mexico and Arizona.

The Northern Shoshone fought conflicts with settlers in Idaho in the 1860s which included the Bear River Massacre and again in 1878 in the Bannock War. They fought with the U.S. Army in the 1876 Battle of the Rosebud against their traditional enemies, the Lakota and Cheyenne.

In 1982, the Western Shoshone, who also invited "unrepresented tribes", made a declaration of sovereignty and began issuing its own passports as the Western Shoshone National Council.
