The Shoshone-Bannocks


Book Description

Even in the face of internal disputes between cattlemen and hay cutters, the people of Fort Hall found innovative ways - such as participation in new religious experiences, cultural redefinition, and regular community gatherings - to manage the contradictions that stemmed from market integration. Heaton tells how the Shoshone-Bannocks made a meaningful choice between productive commerce and a more typical reliance on subsistence and wage labor. Their leaders found new ways to unite disparate bands and kin groups to resist attempts to open reservation land to exploitation by non-Indians, and through careful land cessions they were able to obtain the capital needed to develop reservation resources themselves.

Shoshone-Bannock Subsistence and Society


Book Description

Robert and Yolanda Murphy spent years studying the Shoshone and Bannock Indians during the 1950s. They were hired by the Department of Justice to conduct research on Native American tribes who had lost territory due to the advancing frontier. Their research led to the writing of this book, 'Shoshone-Bannock Subsistence and Society' which focuses on the groups' social structure, political identity, and seasonal activity. The book also examines the impact of ecology on the tribes' social structures and documents the Shoshone and Bannock territories in Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The authors' extensive research, including ethnographic and historical research, is presented in a detailed, insightful manner that provides a comprehensive understanding of these tribes' way of life.
