Waradika

The Waradika were a Bannock group whose name was recorded as the rye-grass seed eaters. The Bannock occupied the Snake River country and travelled through the mountains and valleys of the northern Great Basin. Plant foods formed part of their seasonal diet alongside fish and game. From the eighteenth century, mounted Bannock groups increasingly travelled with Shoshone neighbours, linking the river plain with hunting grounds and trading partners across the mountains.
