Kutsipiuti

Kutsipiuti, or people of the desert, is a name associated with the Goshute of the eastern Great Basin. Their country extends across the dry valleys and mountain ranges west of the Great Salt Lake. Families gathered seeds and roots, hunted game and visited the higher slopes when pine nuts were ripe. Springs and streams connected these seasonal places in a homeland where the distribution of water and food changed sharply between valley floors and uplands.
