My unit on the Paiute Indians taught me about what the Paiutes wore, hunted, ate, and gathered. I also learned that they gathered any edibles plant life, and they hunted mostly deer and rabbit. While the men hunted, the women gathered plant life such as berries and leaves. The southern Paiutes fished, but the Northern Paiutes did not. They were located around the California Intermountain and the Great Basin. They made small huts called wickups and were covered with tule rushes. I also learned that the Paiutes wore very little or no clothing. Their climate was warm which is why they wore little or no clothing. The Paiute people first came to the Great Basin but then moved to various states around the country. The Paiutes only had one dance that I know of and that’s the Ghost dance. The Paiutes were the originators of the Ghost dance. One interesting thing that I learned is that in 1879, thirty-eight Paiutes moved to the Warm Springs reservation.
