Question: In what region was the Native American tribe, the Shoshones, located in?
Context: The Battle of Kelley Creek, also known as the Last Massacre, is often considered to be one of the last known massacres carried out between Native Americans and forces of the United States, and was a closing event to occur near the end of the American Indian warfare era.  In January 1911 a small group of Bannocks and Shoshones killed four investigative agents in a ranch after they had been pursued for abducting cattle.  A posse of policemen and citizens was sent to track the natives, who were found encamped near Winnemucca, Nevada, in a region known as Kelley Creek.  A largely one-sided battle ensued on February 25 that ended with the direct deaths of nine people, eight Daggetts and one mortally wounded American.  At the time the affair was briefly characterized as a Native American revolt, though it is now mostly regarded as a family's attempted escape from law enforcement. The Indigenous Peoples of the Great Basin are Native Americans of the northern Great Basin, Snake River Plain, and upper Colorado River basin.  The "Great Basin" is a cultural classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas and a cultural region located between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, in what is now Nevada, and parts of Oregon, California, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah.  There is very little precipitation in the Great Basin area which affects the lifestyles and cultures of the inhabitants. The Shoshone or Shoshoni ( or ) are a Native American tribe with four large cultural/linguistic divisions: Thousands of years before Europeans arrived, a large portion of south east Florida, including the area where Miami, Florida exists today, was inhabited by Tequestas.  The Tequesta (also Tekesta, Tegesta, Chequesta, Vizcaynos) Native American tribe, at the time of first European contact, occupied an area along the southeastern Atlantic coast of Florida.  They had infrequent contact with Europeans and had largely migrated by the middle of the 18th century.  Miami is named after the Mayaimi, a Native American tribe that lived around Lake Okeechobee until the 17th or 18th century. Princess Mona Darkfeather (January 13, 1883 – September 3, 1977) was an American actress who starred in Native American and Western dramas.  Chief Big Thunder gave her the title “Princess” after the Blackfoot Native American Tribe made her a blood member.  During the silent era of motion pictures, from 1911 to 1917, she appeared in 102 movies.  Playing Native American characters in a dignified way, her most famous role was possibly as Prairie Flower in "The Vanishing Tribe" (1914). The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (pronounced "Soo Saint Marie"), commonly shortened to Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians or the more colloquial Soo Tribe, is a federally recognized Native American tribe in what is now known as Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  The tribal headquarters is located within the major city in the region, Sault Ste. Marie on the St. Marys River. This is a list of Native American actors in the United States, including Alaskan Natives and American Indians. Native American identity is a complex and contested issue rooted in political sovereignty that pre-dates the creation of colonial nation states like the U.S. and Canada and persists into the 21st century recognized under international law by treaty.  The Bureau of Indian Affairs defines Native American as having American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry.  Legally, being Native American is defined as being enrolled in a federally recognized tribe or Alaskan village.  Ethnologically, factors such as culture, history, language, religion, and familial kinships can influence Native American identity.  All individuals on this list should have Native American ancestry.  Historical figures might predate tribal enrollment practices and would be included based on ethnological tribal membership, while any contemporary individuals should either be enrolled members of federally recognized tribes or have cited Native American ancestry and be recognized as being Native American by their respective tribes(s).  Contemporary unenrolled individuals are listed as being of descent from a tribe. The Potatuck tribe (also Pohtatuck, Pootatuck) were a Native American tribe that was a subgroup of the Paugussett Nation, historically located during and prior to the colonial era in western Connecticut, United States.  They lived in what is present-day Newtown, Woodbury and Southbury of Fairfield County, and along the whole Housatonic River, including the Schaghticoke tribe.  After losses due to epidemics and warfare, they merged in the early eighteenth century with other remnant Native American groups in the area, forming the Schaghticoke tribe.  Its descendants are recognized as a tribe by the state of Connecticut. Pointe-au-Chien Tribe is a State-recognized Native American Tribe, located in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes, Louisiana.  Pointe-au-Chien Tribe claim to be descendants of the Chitimacha; they are also believed to be descendants of other historical tribes located in the region, notably the Acolapissa, Atakapas, and Biloxi Indians.  The Tribe has approximately 680 members.  In 1996, they have petitioned to the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs for federal recognition. The Ridgetop Shawnee Tribe of Indians descend from southeastern Kentucky's early multiracial settlers of 1790-1870.  Their ancestors migrated to the central Appalachian region in the late 18th to mid 19th centuries.  The Ridgetop Shawnee Tribe of Indians are the only Native American tribe to have been recognized and honored by a body of the Kentucky General Assembly.  In 2009 and 2010, resolutions by the State House of the Kentucky General Assembly recognized the Ridgetop Shawnee Tribe of Indians for their care of their children and elderly, and their work to preserve their culture and Native American heritage in the region, including prehistoric sites.  In June 2013 the Pine Mountain Indian Community, LLC, announced that the Ridgetop Shawnee Tribe of Indians would become the heritage arm of this nonprofit organization.  Within this new management structure the Ridgetop Shawnee Tribe of Indians will concentrate more on the heritage of the region while the Pine Mountain Indian Community will take the lead with regard to economic development and community development in Southeastern Kentucky.
