Doyahinee

Doyahinee, or Mountain People, was a name for Shoshone communities of the northern Rockies. They were also known as Tukudeka, the Sheep Eaters, after the mountain sheep of their upland country. Their ranges included the Salmon River mountains, the Sawtooth country and the Beaverhead Mountains, as well as lands farther east towards Yellowstone and the Wind River. Another name, Bannock Mountaineers, recalls the close ties and intermarriage between these Shoshone and Bannock neighbours.
