How did the arrival of the Mormons affect the paiute people?

The Paiutes were mostly Coastal, and didn't have a lot of
interaction with the Mormons. The Oregon Trail pioneers and the
California gold rush travellers were influential in their impact on
the Paiutes. Their greatest impact seems to have been the
introduction of disease, which decimated the tribes.

What culture were the Paiute part of?

The three groups of Paiute Indians speak a similar language, but
are not genetically related. Numerous tribes are part of the
"indiginous peoples of the Great Basin". Their language belongs to
the Uto-Aztecan family of Native American languages. The Northern
Paiutes shared lands and culture with the Shoshone. Some of the
southern Paiutes now live on the Navajo reservations.

What was the Indians paiute clothing?

Paiutes wore very little clothing because they lived in a very
hot climate. The women traditionally wore aprons, grass skirts, and
sun hats. The women didn't usually wear any tops. The men
traditionally wore breechcloths and sun hats as well. And the men
didn't usually wear tops either. But in the winter they wore
leather shirts with their traditional clothing. And also in the
winter they kept warm under rabbit-skin blankets.

What was the paiutes shelter?

The Paiutes, Gosiutes and some Shoshones used a brushwood
shelter today called "wickiup". These varied in size but most were
small and all were intended as very temporary shelters.
Dead wood or branches were used to form a simple framework, with
sagebrush or other brushwood or dry grass as a covering - sometimes
with trade blankets thrown over the top. Some used mats made from
plant stems tied together.
