content: Listed as "Moapa Southern Paiute (?)" and illustrated in Fowler and Matley (1979) (Figure 78a) with the following remarks: "There are no ethnographic reports of the Southern Paiute manufacturing wooden saddles, parfleches, or other horse gear in the 1870s, They undoubtedly did obtain such gear by trade from the Utes....It is not clear when the Moapa Southern Paiute began using horses. They were less isolated than the Kaibab, since a section of the Old Spanish trail, later a major emigrant route to southern California, passed through their territory. The available ethnohistoric data for the period 1830-1860 (Euler, 1966, passim) indicate that any horses obtained were eaten. Thus the Moapa may have been as late as the Kaibab in adopting horses for riding." pp. 78, 79,
