The Shoshone Indians are a tribe of Native Americans who traditionally lived in the western half of what would become the United States. They were a large tribe that are seen to be split up into three parts, the Western, Eastern, and Northern Shoshone, and their territory consisted of areas of Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, California, and Montana. The majority of them lived in the area of the Snake River in Idaho, leading to their nickname of the 'Snake Indians,' however Shoshone actually means 'The Valley People.'

Their lifestyles changed dramatically with the arrival of Europeans, with the expansion of white men into the west claiming more land. Settlers in Ohio caused some fighting, leading to the Shoshone being pushed back and restricted to less and less area, even into lands that had never traditionally been their own. American expansion continued, however, and soon the Shoshone were pushed all the way to Idaho, where they fought back harder than ever. The Bear River Massacre, in 1863, saw the United States Army attacking the Shoshone, leading to the death of at least two hundred Shoshone. In 1878 the Bannock War was the last straw and the last of the Northern Shoshone surrendered soon after.
Native American culture. American Indian music had been recorded before, notably in Frances Densmore's pioneer work between 1907 and 1940, during which time she recorded well over two thousand songs. In the late 1930s, electronic equipment for the making of phonograph discs in the field became available and a few samplings of Native American music.

The Shoshone were given a plot of reservation land in Idaho known as the Lemhi Indian Reservation in 1875, among other reservations in surrounding areas. The Western Shoshone were particularly stubborn in regards to obeying the orders of the United States, declaring their own sovereignty, and because of this there are many Shoshone who are still waiting for their tribe to become federally recognized. Their pre-contact population was approximately 8,000, though there are now at least 30,000 Shoshone in the United States.

This is a list of Native American musicians and singers. They are notable musicians and singers, who are from Peoples indigenous to the contemporary United States, including Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Americans in the United States.[1][2]Native American identity is a complex and contested issue. The Bureau of Indian Affairs defines Native American as having American Indian or Alaska Native ancestry. Legally, being Native American is defined as being enrolled in a federally recognized tribe or Alaskan village. Ethnologically, factors such as culture, history, language, religion, and familial kinships can influence Native American identity.[3]
All individuals on this list should have Native American ancestry. Historical figures might predate tribal enrollment practices and would be included based on ethnological tribal membership, while any contemporary individuals should either be enrolled members of federally recognized tribes or have cited Native American ancestry and be recognized as being Native American by their respective tribes(s). Contemporary unenrolled individuals are listed as being of descent from a tribe.
