The Paiute Tribe are hunters and gatherers. They collect and eat seeds, berries, bulbs, roots, fish, and hunt smaller things such as ground squirrels or rabbits.
They believed in power of all natural objects such as animals or weather. They did a ceremonial dance called The Ghost Dance which they believed would reunite them with the dead.
The clothing they wore was breechcloth, animal skin moccasins, sagebrush or bark sandals, and rabbit fur robes.

Their house's were covered with brush and reeds and were built near streams so they could fish easier.
The leaders of the Paiute tribe where chiefs. Some of the chiefs were Winnemucca who was a northern Paiute war cheif, and Captain John: leader of Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiutes.
