Penointikara

Penointikara is recorded as the name of a Bannock group, translated as “honey eaters”. The Bannock shared much of their country with Northern Shoshone communities, from the Snake River country into the mountains to the east. They hunted game, caught salmon and gathered plants such as camas. After horses spread among them, parties of Shoshone and Bannock travelled across the mountains to hunt bison, bringing back meat and hides to their home camps.
