Koosharem

The Koosharem are a Southern Paiute people of the high valleys and plateaus of central Utah. Their country includes the Fish Lake region, where wooded mountains rise above dry basins. At the time of early outside contact, Koosharem families travelled between Fish Lake in summer and the country near Escalante in winter. Their way of life joined the resources of high and low country, and their connections with neighbouring Ute and Paiute communities crossed the mountain valleys.
