It was very exciting, especially when he gets attacked by a mountain lion. I thought it was very interesting when Moho Wat used his feet and one hand to use a bow and arrow.

A collaborative effort by Beverly Crum, Earl Crum, and Jon P. Dayly, Newe Hupia: Shoshoni Poetry Songs is a unique and seminal collection of poetry and songs both in the Native American Shoshoni language and in English translation. An introduction and commentary about the poems, as well as a vast glossary of Shoshoni terms and their English meanings offers meaningful context for these timeless and eternal verses of the heart and soul. Newe Hupia also comes with an audio CD containing superbly recorded performances of the songs by Earl and Beverly Crum, resulting in a unique literary and audio experience that is very highly recommended, ground breaking contribution to Native American Studies music and cultural reference collections.

This book is informative and in depth regarding the Shoshone nation of Wind River. I have now a deep respect for the honored Chief Washakie of their tribe. I wish I could have elected him President of the United States.

I recommend reading Geneva's Hope, a historical romance including reference to the Shoshone nation. It is make believe but gives insights into the nation. The romance novel Geneva's Hope is set in the late 1870's. The tribal nation is the Shoshone and the location is Ely, Nevada.

I also recommend Smitten (historical romance) by Payton Lee

A Picture Book Of Sacagawea is an illustrated children's book with a brief biography of Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who served and guide and interpreter for the exploration/journey of Lewis and Clark into the great Northwest territory of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. From her birth in 17888 or 89 in Idaho to the end of the expedition in Fort Mandan, August of 1806, the biography gives known details of Sacagawea's many helpful and courageous actions. Her eventful life is still incompletely known. The dates of her death are given as "either December 20, 1812, or April 9, 1884." But her life is definitely an example of inspiration to young readers. The colorful illustrations are complementary but not distracting from the simply written text. The author and illustrator give special thanks to Brigham D. Madsen, author of The Northern Shoshoni and Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Utah. In addition, there is a selective bibliography to encourage young readers to look further for information about this Shoshoni woman. A Picture Book Of Sacagawea is an excellent resource for elementary or middle school age students.

Scott Christiansen's book is a superby researched, sensitively written and highly readable account of this exceptional man of the Northwest Shoshone. Until his book little was known of Sagwitch or of this unique band. Readers will find a very balanced account concerning the Bear River Massacre and how it affected the Shoshone survivors, their way of life, and how the local Mormon settlers dealt with the tragedy.

This is part of a series of short books on Native Americans of North America. It contains good information on the ways of life of the Shoshone people. It covers their history from their lives before the immigrants ("White man") arrived, and what became of them afterward, including a section on Sacajawea. It covers some of their myths and spiritual beliefs as well as the type of territory they covered and how they survived from day to day. It contains black and white photos, drawings, paintings, and a few color plates. This is a good learning tool for anyone interested in the Shoshone, from grade school on up to adult.

Shoshoni Pony is a picture book that teaches young readers about the Shoshoni Native American tribe, and how they integrated horses into their lives. Quality color illustrations by Dick Lee and a straightforward prose by Carol Lynn MacGregor make Shoshoni Pony as entertaining a read as it is informative regarding the Native American culture which is its storytelling background.

A wonderful collection of early 20th century Native American interpretations of Western American History. Ottogary's fascinating career as a journalist is brought to life in this edition. This book is a must read for any one interested in the history of the American West.

This book starts out in Idaho. It's about a woman named Sacagawea, who was taken away from her family. A few of her friends left her. The men who came for her called her bird woman.
Sacagawea got married when she was 15 and had a baby. She guided Lewis and Clark across the Western United States. They had to map it out for Thomas Jefferson after the Lousianna Purchase. It took a long time for them to travel to the Pacific and back. She was a huge help to them because she knew what food was safe to eat and what to use for injuries, and helped communicate to the Native Americans they encountered along the way. Lewis and Clark and her took a ship to find here family and they did. Lewis shot himself. Sacagawea died in1896. I think another title for this book should be The Life About Sacagawea. I think she should have lived longer. I will like to tell people to read this book because it's a great educational book. The best part was when she had her baby. The part that I didn't like was when she died. She is a true American heroine.

One of my favorite books I ever read is, "Naya Nuki Shoshoni Girl Who Ran," by Kenneth Thomasma. This story is about determination, believing in yourself and never giving up. An enemy tribe captured Naya Nuki and her people. Naya Nuki is determined to escape and return to her homeland. The night she escaped was her night for freedom and the beginnng of an exciting 1000-mile journey. During this long journey she overcomes many hardships and learns that she is capable of doing many things to survive and complete her journey to freedom. What makes it an amazing book is that it is based on a true story. I hope that you read this book and recommend it to your friends.

Naya Nuki is a great book. This book is about a young, Shoshoni girl who got captured at the age of eleven. She was taken away from her family and was forced to march down to North Dakota an Indian village. When Naya Nuki got there she became a slave. Survival was nearly impossible; every member had to work together. Even though food was a scarce thing, Naya Nuki always had energy. After time went by the only thing Naya Nuki could think of was being home with her Shoshoni people. During the whole march Naya Nuki was watching for landmarks and places to hide. She had been secretly stashing away dried meat, roots and seeds. She knew the time to run away would come soon. To find out if she reunites with her family and Shoshoni people read the book! The Author presents an amazing story of danger, survival skills and courage. I think you will really enjoy this book!
