The Shoshone were originally a large tribe that covered a large area of the plains. One of their offshoot tribes is the Comanche tribe, and they were one of the last hold-out tribes to fight the United States.
The name Shoshone means "Valley People" and while they had a snake clan there was no real relevance to a snake than is common among most Native Americans.
Today there are approximately 12,000 Shoshone most of which live on any one of the approximately 20 different reservations.
