Native American Cultures Books

The Shoshone people’s history is forever tied to the period known as westward expansion in the United States. Occupying lands in present-day Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, California, and Nevada, the Shoshone tribe lived in western North America for hundreds of years before white settlers were drawn there by land and gold. In fact, most Shoshone never encountered a white person until the 1800s! Readers are introduced to the Shoshone people through their history and culture. Full-color photographs and historic images highlight their nomadic lifestyle, and fact boxes add interesting detail to curriculum-supporting content.
