The Shoshoni People For nearly 5,000 years, the Shoshoni people lived in Cache Valley. They were dependent upon wild foods since they were nomadic hunters and gatherers who seasonally followed big game. Shohoni life changed dramatically in the early 1700's when they acquired horses, which allowed the Shoshoni to hunt bison and other big game. Indians would start grass fires to drive buffalo herds or to improve forage for their horses. The fires, however, cleared the valley of bushes and trees, except for those located near the rivers, and forever changed the look of the valley.
