The Name Game
The tribe this steed was based on, the three subdivisions of the Shoshone, lived throughout the western U.S., from Western Montana and Eastern Idaho to Death Valley, California. They were culturally tied to the Comanche, who split from them and moved south toward Texas. The word “shoshono” means “walking.”

Because of their widespread population, there is no defining characteristic to the Shoshone tribe in terms of livelihood. The eastern Shoshone practiced the buffalo-hunting culture of the plains tribes. The Western Shoshone were subsistence hunter/gatherers like the Paiutes. The eastern Shoshone used horses. The western Shoshone walked on foot (there wasn’t enough to feed horses). The northern Shoshone fished for salmon, like the Nez Perce. Sacajawea, who guided the Lewis and Clark Expedition was Shoshone.
