Tipanuk

Tipanuk lies on the western Snake River Plain, a high, dry country of sagebrush between the Boise Mountains and the river. Shoshone, Bannock and Northern Paiute families used the plains and neighbouring uplands as part of a seasonal round. To the east, Camas Prairie was an important gathering place for the bulbs of the camas plant, which could be cooked and stored. The routes between prairie, mountains and river connected food grounds across a broad inland homeland.
