Between the Blue Mountains and the Harney Basin lies a country of dry uplands and river valleys. Northern Paiute bands occupied territories across this part of the Great Basin; the Hunipuitoka, also called the Walpapi, lived near the upper John Day River. Families gathered seeds and roots and hunted game, while neighbouring groups came together for communal drives of rabbits and pronghorn. Their movements followed resources spread across the basin rather than the boundaries of a single settlement.
