Best Answer

the Shoshone government was barley existent. the shaman was the leader in most cases

***************************************************************

Actually there was no Government amongst we the Shoshone Native Americans, we were lead by our Chiefs, and only age, hunts & kills, which when you became an elder determined your status...

We had no Words for Senators, or President, We Were Chiefs, Shaman's or Braves in Some tribes, and Wives.

The European came here with wars, and implemented Politics in Tribal Affairs.

And in order to be accepted they would mate with native women, in order for their seed, to be in line for Chief. Eventually the word was implemented into US politics.

ie... President ________ Commander in Chief.

But only after Treaties were put in Place, and the word was used then as a form of Mind trickery to get Natives to accept a European Leader, Claiming to run Turtle island, now called America.
