The '''Southern Paiute people''' ((IPAc-en|ˈ|p|aɪ|juː|t)) are a tribe of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] who have lived in the [[Colorado River]] basin of southern [[Nevada]], northern [[Arizona]], and southern [[Utah]]. Bands of Southern Paiute live in scattered locations throughout this territory and have been granted [[List of federally recognized tribes in the United States|federal recognition]] on several [[Indian reservation|reservations]]. Southern Paiute's traditionally spoke [[Colorado River Numic language|Colorado River Numic]], which is now a critically endangered language of the [[Numic]] branch of the [[Uto-Aztecan languages|Uto-Aztecan]] language family, and is mutually intelligible with [[Ute dialect|Ute]].<ref name=Crow>((Cite web |title=Peoples of Mesa Verde: The Ute–Southern Paiute Connection |url=https://www.crowcanyon.org/educationproducts/peoples_mesa_verde/post_pueblo_who_southern_utes.asp |access-date=2023-05-03 |publisher=[[Crow Canyon Archaeological Center]] |publication-date=2014))</ref> The term [[Paiute]] comes from ''paa'' Ute meaning water [[Ute people|Ute]] ((IPAc-en|ˈ|juː|t)), and refers to their preference for living near water sources.<ref name=NPS>((Cite web |title=About The Southern Paiute |url=https://www.nps.gov/articles/about-the-southern-paiute.htm |access-date=2023-05-03 |publisher=[[National Park Service]] |language=en))</ref> Before European colonization they practiced springtime, floodplain farming with reservoirs and irrigation ditches for corn, squash, melons, gourds, sunflowers, beans and wheat.<ref name=NPS/>

The first European contact with the Southern Paiute occurred in 1776, when fathers [[Silvestre Vélez de Escalante]] and [[Francisco Atanasio Domínguez]] encountered them during an attempt to find an overland route to the [[Spanish missions in California|missions of California]]. They noted that some of the Southern Paiute men "had thick beards and were thought to look more in appearance like Spanish men than native Americans".((efn|1=((harvtxt|Warner|1995|pp=187–193)) cites ((harvtxt|Dominguez|Vélez de Escalante|1776)))) Before this date, the Southern Paiute suffered slave raids by the [[Navajo people|Navajo]] and the [[Ute Tribe|Ute]]. The arrival of Spanish and later Euro-American explorers into their territory increased slave raiding by other tribes. In 1851, [[Mormon]] settlers strategically occupied Paiute water sources, which created a dependency relationship.((Citation needed|date=April 2019)) However, the presence of Mormon settlers soon ended the slave raids, and relations between the Paiutes and the Mormons were basically peaceful.((Citation needed|date=December 2022)) The Mormon missionary [[Jacob Hamblin]] worked at diplomatic efforts. The introduction of European settlers and agricultural practices (most especially large herds of [[cattle]]) made it difficult for the Southern Paiute to continue their traditional lifestyle, as it drove away the game and reduced their ability to hunt, as well as to gather natural foods.

== Public relations ==
=== Early policy ===

Prior to the 1850s the Paiute people lived relatively peacefully with the other Native American groups. These groups included the Navajo, Ute, and Hopi tribes.<ref name=holt>((cite web|last=Holt|first=Ronald L.|url=https://historytogo.utah.gov/paiute-indians/|title=Paiute Indians|date=22 April 2016 |publisher=Utah State Department of Community & Cultural Engagement))</ref> Though there was the occasional tension and violent outbreaks between groups, Paiutes were mainly able to live in peace with other tribes and settlers due to their loose social structure. Most Paiutes lived in small familial groups, and only gathered together in large settings for matters of trade and commerce.<ref name=holt/> Prior to the 1850s, their biggest antagonists were raiders from competing tribes; such as the Navajos, Utes, and Hopis. The Navajos were particularly known for intruding on Paiute grazing land and engaging in raids to capture Paiute women and children for slave trade.<ref>((Cite journal |jstor = 30028366|title = You Can't Get There from Here: Southern Paiute Testimony as Intercultural Communication|journal = [[Anthropological Linguistics (journal)|Anthropological Linguistics]]|volume = 34|issue = 1/4|pages = 19–44|last1 = Bunte|first1 = Pamela|last2 = Franklin|first2 = Robert|year = 1992))</ref>

Prior to the 1860s, there had been no long-term development of the land. Most of the non-native contact they had was with transient militants or traders.  Paiutes fought hard to defend their ancestral lands, and at first were successful in driving the settlers out. During the second half of the 1800s, the most prominent groups to migrate to Paiute lands were members and missionaries from [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints#Pioneer era|The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]] and silver miners in [[Pioche, Nevada]].<ref name=reeve>((Cite book | jstor=10.5406/j.ctt1xcnr6| title=Making Space on the Western Frontier|author1-link=W.

=== Modern relations ===

In the 1950s, the [[Indian termination policy|Indian termination policies]] of the federal government stripped the Paiutes of their health and educational benefits, federal tax protection, and agricultural assistance. This left them on their own in a weak and unstable state.<ref>Holt, Ronald L. “Paiute Indians.” Utah Department of Heritage and Arts, 17 Aug. 2016, heritage.utah.gov/history/uhg-first-peoples-paiute-indians.</ref> The first attempt of reconciliation was made in 1980, with the [https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/96/hr4996 Restoration Act], which recognized the Paiutes as a tribe. It united the five main bands into one tribe: the Cedars, Indian Peaks, Kanosh, Koosharem, and Shivwits.<ref>((Cite web | url=https://www.utahpaiutes.org/news-2/history/ | title=Our History – the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah))</ref> The bill also restored the bands to a system of federal aid and support.

== Culture ==

=== Basket weaving ===

[[File:Hat, Southern Paiute, collected 1876 - Native American collection - Peabody Museum, Harvard University - DSC05567.JPG|thumb|left|Southern Paiute woven hat from 1876 at a [[Harvard University]] museum.]]

One of the most important skills the women of the Paiute tribes had was their basket weaving skills. They would often use red-stemmed willows to weave their baskets. These skills were used in almost every aspect of their lives, and the skill is believed to have been passed down from mother to daughter for at least 9,000 years. When they would go to gather and forage they would carry large conical baskets on their back to collect things.

Specific tools were created including ones to strip fruit off of bushes and trees, ones used for [[winnowing]], and ones used to get to roots better. They would also tightly weave these big baskets with clay and [[resin]] to create cooking pots and water jugs. Oftentimes, smaller tools were left behind, whereas bigger products such as cooking pots went with the families as they moved around. Based on the region the families were located determined different uses for the weaving. For instance, those who lived by marshes learned to create [[Duck decoy (model)|duck decoys]], nets, and rafts to better hunt the water fowl. Another use for this skill was to create their houses. They would use long thin grasses to tightly weave stalks of [[Typha|Cattails]] together, and in doing so they created these long board-like sections of grasses that they would set up around long willow limbs stuck in the ground.<ref name=":0">((Cite AV media|url=https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/earth-our-home|title=The Earth is Our Home |last=Patapoff|first=E. (Director)|date=1979 |via=[[Kanopy]]|language=en|access-date=2018-10-12))</ref>

=== Traditional diet ===

A staple food for the Southern Paiutes was the [[bitterroot]]. They also depended on [[wild carrot]], wild onion, and [[Prunus virginiana|chokecherries]]. Chokecherries were useful in more ways than one - their stems were brewed to make a sweet drink, and their berries would be crushed, then dried to be saved for later. When [[Aphid]]s came and swarmed the cane plants, they would leave small drops of nectar where they punctured the cane stalk. Knowing this the Southern Paiute women would take the cane rods and beat them until the small dried droplets came loose. These droplets were then tossed in a winnowing dish to be separated from the remnants of the cane. Often these small particles were the main income of sweetness for the people.<ref name=":0" /> Another seed they would gather are waada seeds, minuscule black seeds that would be ground up into meal.<ref name=":1">((Cite web|url=https://www.fws.gov/pacific/crm/oe/oeprojects/OEEWWada.htm|title=Rock Art of the Malheur Marshlands The Wada'Tika: Ancestors of Today's Burns Paiute Tribe, Oregon|last=Cultural Resources Management program|date=2012|publisher=[[US Fish and Wildlife Service]]|access-date=2018-11-12))</ref> Those who lived in a region with an adequate water supply would set up farms, complete with ditch irrigation.

===Paiute archery===
====Bows====

There is a bow collected by the [[Smithsonian Institution]] in 1872.<ref>Smithsonian Institution, Department of Anthropology, Catalogue Number E-12034-0.</ref> Made from a hardwood branch, possibly [[Mesquite]] or [[Cercocarpus|mountain mahogany]], and is 38 5/8 inches from tip to tip. The bow is round in cross section, and the string is two ply sinew. It has a sinew back, and the sinew has been stained with a reddish brown ochre. The bow is utilitarian and still has carving marks, as to be expected of a practical weapon in a hostile and harsh desert environment.<ref name="Primitive Archer">Berger, Billy. 2010. "Treasures of the Smithsonian. Part V. Archery of the Southwestern United States: Paiute. " [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/881085890 Primitive Archer]. Volume 18 (5). October–November 2010. Pages 2025.</ref>

====Arrows====

A set of Paiute arrows was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in 1874.<ref>Smithsonian Institution, Department of Anthropology, Catalogue number E-14539.</ref> Only one arrow has a point. The arrowhead is attached by pine pitch glue. There are sinew wrappings behind the point, but they are to prevent the shaft from splitting when the target is hit. The feathers are hawk and buzzard.<ref name="Primitive Archer"/>

====Quivers and bowcases====

A Paiute arrow quiver was acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in 1872.<ref>Smithsonian Institution, Department of Anthropology, Catalogue Number E-12038-0.</ref> The quiver is made of deerskin with thick hair still on the case, showing the deer was killed in the winter, and is sewn with two ply sinew, much like the bowstring. "The quiver is plain, with no decoration, as would be expected of a desert dwelling culture."<ref name="Primitive Archer"/>

=== Holy land traditions ===

The Southern Paiute people believe in Puaxant Tuvip, or power land. It is their holy land that links to many significant landmarks in the Southern Paiutes memory and stories. For instance Nuvagantu, or [[Mount Charleston|Mt. Charleston]] in Nevada is a holy landmark that the Southern Paiute people believe was where they were created. These holy lands were places that the separate families or tribes would come to barter, trade, socialize and perform religious ceremonies. Another large landmark that is culturally significant to the Southern Paiutes is the [[Colorado River|Colorado river]] and the [[Grand Canyon]]. The modern-day importance of these Holy Lands is that the Southern Paiutes claim the supernaturally given right to know what happens and the impacts of any projects that occur in their holy lands.<ref>((Cite journal|last1=Stoffle|first1=Richard W.|last2=Halmo|first2=David B.|last3=Austin|first3=Diane E.|date=1997|title=Cultural Landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties: A Southern Paiute View of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272644541 |via=[[ResearchGate]]|journal=American Indian Quarterly |volume=21| issue=2|pages=229 |doi=10.2307/1185646| issn=0095-182X|jstor=1185646))</ref>

== Organization of the Southern Paiute people ==

[[File:Sketch-1683230518236~3.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Koosharem Southern Paiute people in [[Koosharem, Utah]] 1905.]]

One important aspect of gathering food was the social aspect, often families would come together for foraging and games and then depart and go their different ways. The Southern Paiutes were not organized tribally. Groups were instead made up of small family units that would occasionally come together with others to socialize. Each group was about 10-50 related people. Family ties were very important to these groups and determined group movements and interdependence among groups. Marriages were thus very important to the Southern Paiutes.

The leader of the group was called a Headman, and he would be old enough to know a lot about the land, but young enough to still participate in the tribes activities, and he usually had several different family ties within the group. His job was to wake early in the morning, and using his knowledge he would make specific suggestions of what he thought the tribe should do that day, and if people thought his observations were astute they would follow him, if not then they wouldn't. His suggestions would be based on the weather, season, and abundance of food. If over time they stopped following his ideas and instead turned to another, then the Headman leader title would move onto that person. The Headman also was supposed to settle any disputes that came up.<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CixmFMIDfhoC&q=Headman|title=Boundaries between : the Southern Paiutes, 1775-1995|last=Knack|first=Martha C.|date=2004|publisher=[[University of Nebraska Press]]|isbn=9780803278189|pages=20–25|via=[[Google Books]]))</ref> Oftentimes different sub-units of the Southern Paiutes would be classified by the settlers coming in from Europe based on what they ate. So you had those who ate waada seeds, those who ate trout, those who ate cattails, etc.<ref name=":0" /> While the Southern Paiute people are categorized as one group, there were subgroups within the whole that were differentiated based on location and dialect.<ref>((Cite book |last=Steward |first=Julian |title=University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology |publisher=[[University of California Press]]|location=Berkeley, California |year=1933 |pages=233–250 |language=English))</ref>
