Shoshone Family

Shoshone Family
Dart points found in Nevada indicate that some of the first Native Americans lived in this region more than 10,000 years ago. The Shoshone tribe, thought to be descendants of these first Americans, were among the peoples early explorers and settlers encountered when they reached Nevada. By 1906, when this photograph was taken, some Shoshone had begun wearing western clothes although they continued to follow many of their ancient traditions.
