Tsitsiadi

The Tsitsiadi were a Northern Paiute people associated with Steens Mountain and the dry basins of southeastern Oregon. The mountain rises above the desert and wetlands of the northern Great Basin, offering plants and hunting grounds at elevations different from the valley floor. Paiute communities moved among these places as food became available, gathering roots and seeds and hunting game. Their neighbours included other Northern Paiute bands of the Harney and Warner lake country.
