The Paiute Indians are found only in the Great Basin of the United States. They consists of three independent groups of indigenous people. The Northern Paiute named their tribes after the food they ate. The Southern Paiute lost federal recognition in 1954 but regained it in 1980. They fought against the U.S. in the Paiute War on 1860. The Ghost Dance religious movement originated with the Paiutes. Each group speaks distinctly unique languages belonging to the same family. More Paiutes died from exposure to smallpox and other diseases by European settlers than from armed conflict with them. Many of them were kidnapped and enslaved by other indigenous groups. They developed a codependent relationship with Mormon settlers.
