Tsaiduka

The Tsaiduka are Western Shoshone people of the Duckwater valley country in central Nevada. Their name is translated as tule eaters, recalling a wetland plant used in a landscape otherwise dominated by dry basins and mountain ranges. Springs feed marshes in the valley, while higher slopes supplied game and gathered foods. The Tsaiduka homeland forms part of Newe country, extending across the interior valleys and ranges of the Great Basin.
