Albert Johnson and Group of Shoshones at Indian Camp

The Timbisha Shoshone lived in the area that is now Death Valley National Park. Small groups camped regularly at desert water sources. There were summer camps in the Panamints and other mountain ranges. The Timbishas' knowledge of water sources and animal behavior allowed them to live in the arid landscape.

Today, the Timbisha Shoshone are active partners with Death Valley National Park in preserving the land they have always called their homeland.
