What about peyote and their religion? Peyote through dream and vision experiences. is a tool to communicate better with spirits and to discover supernatural powers. Some men were thought to gain powers to charm antelope and so led communal antelope drives. Other men became arrow-proof (and, after the introduction of guns, bulletproof) etc etc.
Shoshone wars - Allied with the Bannock, to whom they were related, the Shoshone fought against the United States in the Snake War from 1864 to 1868. They also fought US forces together in 1878 in the Bannock War.
Shoshone Economy - The Eastern Shoshone were big game hunters. Men worked together to hunt buffalo on the plains, and also hunted deer, mountain sheep, and other animals. The Northern Shoshone occasionally hunted buffalo, but relied more on salmon fishing, deer, and small game, as well as roots gathered by the women.

Shoshone Chief Washakie Washakie left the Umatilla while an adolescent to join his mother's tribe. By the 1840s he was chief of the Eastern Band (sometimes called Washakie's Band) of Wyoming Shoshone.
The Eastern Shoshone Indian Days Powwow is a three-day celebration that usually happens in mid-June at the Fort Washakie, Wyoming powwow grounds.
The Wind River Reservation now consisting of approximately 3,500 square miles is located in Fremont and Hot Springs Counties in west-central Wyoming. The Fort Hall Reservation of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes is located in southeastern Idaho. The Western Shoshone live in Nevada colonies and reservations throughout the state including Battle Mountain, Elko, Wells, Fallon and on the Duckwater Indian Reservation.

Rule #1: Be civil to and respectful of other commenters. No ad hominem attacks. Discuss or argue issues, do not attack people.
Rule #2: When in doubt, use the Living Room Rule.
If you come into the house—— and behave rudely to a guest at the nice party in the living room, I will ask you to stop. If you continue, you’ll be escorted to the door, and I will tell the big, bad, heavily armed bouncer not to let you back in. Basically, the living room rule means that you should behave as if you’re an invited guest at a lively salon in my living room. Don’t monopolize the conversation. Be civil. Don’t attack people personally. This is a dinner party. Not a food fight.
And just to be clear, if someone attacks you, you don’t have permission to start throwing crockery back. Ignore them. I’ll deal with them—either sooner or later. Send me an email, if you like. If you both trash the living room, I won’t care who started it. Both of you will get tossed.
Rule #3: Racist, sexist, homophobic or generally hate filled comments have no place here.
Ditto hateful or slanderous generalizations about one cultural group, religion, nationality, or occupation.
“It was only a joke,” and “You have no sense of humor,” doesn’t excuse hateful comments. If you were genuinely misinterpreted, a quick, sincere apology may set things right. A rationalization or shouts of PC Police! will not.
Demonization of any kind is what this site stands against.
Rule #4: Don’t attack the host.
Disagree with me as the editor or any contributors all you want. But attack me—or any of the other regular bloggers and contributors that I'm gradually adding— and you’re gone. No warnings.
Be smart. You’re in someone else’s house.
Rule #5: Be yourself. Don’t impersonate other commenters.
Rule # 6: Stay on topic, at least within reason. And don’t over post.
If you somehow manage to turn every topic into an opportunity to deliver version #479 of your favorite rant, expect not to be here very long.
By the same token, if you are posting five times as much as everyone else, you are the loudmouth in the room high jacking the conversation. Dial it back
Rule #7: Don’t whine about Rules 1-6.
Comment control is not “censorship.” As Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune put it, shooing someone from the room is not the same as trying to silence him or her. Don’t like the rules here? No problem. I wish you godspeed as you take yourself and your comments elsewhere.
Rule # 8: If you break any of the rules, I will likely (operative word: likely) give you a warning—and/or delete your comment. If you persist, I’ll ban you from the site.
This doesn’t mean I don’t like you. It simply means I’ve determined that—for whatever reason— you are not willing to be part of a lively, thoughtful, decorous discussion in which all members treat the others—even those with whom they passionately disagree—as they would wish to be treated.
Rule # 9: Enforcement of the rules will be subjective.
If I’ve had enough sleep, I may be more be tolerant. If I’m over-tired and you piss me off, tolerance vaporizes without warning.
Rule #10: In summation, to paraphrase what The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates said in his own list of commenting rules: Don’t be a jerk and we’ll be fine.
