  1. I learned that the some Shoshone's houses are made out of bush and grass. I also learned that some people hunted buffalo but not all I thought that all Shoshone hunted buffalo. I thought it was kind of rude that some ate salmon and squirrel. They ate buffalo (but not all), sheep, antelope, fish and birds. I thought that was very cool. I learned that all Shoshone pierced their ears! That was so weird even boys!

  2. I learned that boys were naked! I also learned that their tepees were made out of buffalo skin. Women gathered seeds, plants, and berries to make cakes and pies. See you at school!
