Shoshone Home

A tourist tipi in Stanley Idaho, with some of the Sawtooths providing a majestic backdrop.

 

A visual reminder of the legacy and history of the original homesteaders.

 

The Shoshone tribe, also known as the Sheepeater people, called this area home for centuries. Sacajawea was of the Shoshone peoples. Without the help of the Shoshone tribe Lewis and Clark's expedition would not have been successful, probably even survived.

 

Native American history has long held a deep fascination for me. There is a bit of mountain man in me, but know I would miss showers, quick meals and mosquito repellant. Still fun to imagine how pristine and natural it would have been back then.

 

Enjoy a wonderful Sunday!
