found: Handbook of North American Indians, 1978- :v. 11, p. 262 (Western Shoshone; not a discrete linguistic group but strictly a culturally delimited ethnic entity) pp. 279-280 (The name Shoshone was first applied to a group of the Eastern Shoshone and was extended to include the Western Shoshone in the course of the nineteenth century, as the affinity of these peoples became known. Earlier a distinction was frequently made between the equestrian Northern and Eastern Shoshone, referred to as Shoshone (Shoshonee, Shoshoni) or Snakes, and the nonequestrian Western Shoshone, called Shoshocoes (Shoshoko, Shoshoki), Walkers, Root-Diggers, or Diggers; but the application of these terms was by no means consistent. For example, Western Shoshones of the Humboldt River-eastern Nevada area were referred to as Shoshokoes; Bonarch Diggers (that is, foraging Bannocks); Snake Diggers; and Shoshonee Diggers. They are called Shoshoni by 1852 and Western Shoshonee by 1860, and after 1865 are referred to consistently by variants of one of these two terms. The Western Shoshone refer to themselves in Shoshone as niwi [with horizontal bar through both i's] (dialectally nimi [with horizontal bar through the i's]); there is an explicit plural form niwini· [horizontal bar through all three i's]) p. 284 (Northern Shoshone and Bannock; occupied an area roughly coincidental with the political boundaries of the state of Idaho, south of the Salmon River. The names Northern Shoshone and Bannock do not refer to discrete political or social entities. The term Northern Shoshone has arisen in anthropological usage only as a general means of distinguishing Shoshones of the upper Columbia River drainage from the Western Shoshone of Nevada and Utah and the Eastern Shoshone of western Wyoming; the Indians themselves made no recognition of the Eastern, Northern, and Western distinction; the Bannock were Northern Paiute speakers who had migrated from Oregon into the general area of the Snake River plains, where they lived among Shoshone speakers in peaceful cooperation) p. 305 (The term Snake was gradually displaced by the designation Shoshoni or Shoshone during the second half of the nineteenth century; Despite the multiplicity of names such as Snakes, Diggers, Bannocks, Shoshocos, Shoshonees, Mountain Snakes, and so forth, given them by other Indians and by early travelers, none of these terms or their Shoshone equivalents was used as a self-designation. In common with most of the Shoshonean speakers of the Great Basin area, the Shoshone and Bannock both call themselves nimi [with horizontal bar through the i's]) p. 308 (Eastern Shoshone; have occupied western Wyoming and, periodically, adjoining areas since A.D. 1500 or earlier) p. 334 (The name Shoshone first comes to notice in reports of encounters with an Eastern Shoshone group associated with the Crow in 1805; Meriweather Lewis also refers to these people as Shoshonees, Sosone, and "Sosonees or snake Indians"; Shoshone is the preferred spelling used by the Shoshone people)
