Shoshonean Stock is a term that is used to describe one of the principal linguistic groups of North American Indians. The Shoshone are the core tribe proper. Some linguists place the Shoshonean Stock into a greater group called Uto-Aztecan. The tribes lived from around the area of the Great Basin southwards into Northern Mexico and westwards into Southwestern California to the Pacific Ocean.
Other principal tribes are the Hopi, Banak, Piute, Serrano, Mono, Comanche, Pahvant, Ute, Kawai or Cahuilla, Paviotso, Panamint, and Chemehuevi.
