==== Bands, Groups and Subdivisions of Shoshone Indians and Their Reservations  ====

The term or designation of Shoshone Indians is a very broad categorization of several bands and/or federally recognized tribes within the group so named. For the most part, they have historically lived in the Great Basin area, and have ranged from Oregon and Idaho on the north to Arizona and southern California on the south, and from Wyoming on the east to northern California on the west. They were often referred to as the Snakes. Some of the tribes, bands, or groups of Shoshone, with their colonies or reservations, include:

*[[Timbisha Shoshone Indians|Timbisha Shoshone Tribe]]

*Western Shoshone Reservation in Duck Valley on the Nevada-Idaho border.  

*Yomba Western Shoshone Tribe -- [[Yomba Indian Reservation (Nevada)|Yomba Reservation (Nevada)]]
