Shoshonne

The Absaroka Range forms a rugged wall of mountains east of the Yellowstone high country. Among its high slopes and valleys are traces of Mountain Shoshone hunters, including stone projectile points and other tools. The Tukudika, or Sheep Eaters, hunted bighorn sheep and made bows from their horns and sinews. Obsidian supplied sharp points for arrows, while roots, nuts and berries supplemented the meat obtained in the mountains.
