 PAIUTE CULTURE

The Paiutes believe they were made by Tabuts (a wise wolf who carved many people out of sticks). He planned to scatter his carved people throughout the Earth so everyone would have a good place to live. Tabuts's younger brother, Shinangwav, cut the sack that held all the people so they fell in bunches all over the world. This made the people angry (which is why other people always fight). The people that were left inside the sack were the Paiutes. Tabuts chose to put them in the best place... 

The Paiute Indians participated in ceremonies and traditions that we may find odd today. They had unique music, dances, and costumes that made their culture so rich.
