"Goshute" refers to a member of the Goshute tribe. They live, the few who remain, currently, with tongue in cheek between nuclear waste repositories and extinction.
The dwelling place a few centuries ago was a wiki-up a very well organized structure of mud, and sticks; remember, that they were sophisticated for the land area in which they lived, and the construction was dictated by the circumstances. No high rises, nor condos. The dwelling place was made from what was there; not what could be shipped from Argentina, Mexico nor from Indonesia.
Not a whole lot of the Goshute are left; the language is rapidly going the way of many native languages, to extinction, that is, any language that was here in the current United States of America, before the Europeans got here is just about on the way out.
A Goshute typically lives in a traditional dwelling called a wikiup, which is a cone-shaped structure made of brush and other natural materials. They may also live in modern homes on reservations or in urban areas like other people.

The Goshute Indians traditionally ate a diet that consisted of game meats such as antelope, deer, and rabbits, along with wild plants and roots gathered from their surroundings. They also fished in nearby streams and rivers for trout and other freshwater fish. Today, modern Goshute diets may include a mix of traditional foods and more contemporary options.
The Goshute people traditionally wore clothing made from animal hides and plant fibers, such as buckskin and woven reed or grasses. Men typically wore breechcloths and leather moccasins, while women wore dresses or skirts made from hides or woven material. They also adorned themselves with jewelry made from shells, beads, and feathers. Today, Goshute people may wear modern clothing like jeans and t-shirts, but may still incorporate traditional clothing for ceremonial or cultural events.
The Goshute people traditionally ate a diet that consisted of small game like rabbits and rodents, as well as wild plants, seeds, and roots. They also hunted larger game like deer and antelope when available, and caught fish from nearby rivers and streams. They supplemented their diet with seasonal fruits and berries.
Many Native Americans live on reservations in the United States and Canada, while others live in urban areas. Each tribe has its own specific territory and communities where its members live.
It is said that they live 1.6 million to 800,000 years!

Wiki-ups
The Goshute or Gosiute tribe will be somewhat surprised to hear that you think they have vanished, since they are very much alive and well and currently live with Paiutes and Bannocks at a reservation on both sides of the Nevada-Utah border. The Skull Valley band of Goshute live in Tooele County, Utah. So the answer is they did not disappear, but their numbers are much reduced from their original population.
Goshute Canyon Wilderness was created in 2006.
The area of Goshute Canyon Wilderness is 172.169 square kilometers.
