	Paiute - Ghost Dancers Wovoka
		Usage of the terms Paiute, Northern Paiute and Southern Paiute is most correct when referring to groups of people with similar language and culture, and should not be taken to imply a political connection or even an especially close genetic relationship.
		The language of the Northern Paiute is a Shoshonean dialect.
		In fact the distinction between the Northern Paiute and Western Shoshone is not sharp.

		The northern Paiute were more warlike than those of the south, and a considerable number of them took part with the Bannock in the war of 1878.
		Owing to the fact that the great majority of the Paiute (including the Paviotso) are not on reservations, many of them being attached to the ranches of white men, it is impossible to determine their population, but they may be safely estimated at from 6,500 to 7,000.
		As a people the Paiute are peaceable, moral, and industrious, and are highly commended for their good qualities by those who have had the best opportunities for judging.
