Who are the Northern Shoshone referred to as?
Pocatello (Shoshone leader) Chief Pocatello (known in the Shoshoni language as Tondzaosha; 1815 – October 1884) was a leader of the Northern Shoshone, a Native American people of the Great Basin in western North America. He led attacks against early settlers during a time of increasing strife between settlers and Native Americans. After making peace with the United States, he moved his people to their present reservation in Idaho and led the Shoshone during their struggle to survive following their relocation. The city of Pocatello is named in his honor.
Skidi The Skidi or Skiri, also known as the Wolf Pawnee or the French Loup Pawnee are a band of Pawnee people. According to tradition in earlier times the Skidi were associated with the Arikara before the Arikara moved northward. The Skidi language was less related to the other Pawnee languages than the other three tribes' languages were related to each other. In historic times the Skidi first lived on the Loup River in Nebraska.
