Chief Paulina was not a chief by birth but by experience and leadership. He represented his native Shoshone tribe but also their affiliated kin such as the Paiutes.

Chief Pocatello
Chief Pocatello was one of several leaders of the Idaho Shoshone. As with many leaders of that era, he saw his land usurped by white men. A series of hostilities would pass before he suffered the final indignity of reservation life.

Fort Churchill, Nevada (Part 1)
There were many forts across the west, some military and some for trading. Fort Churchill was strictly to provide a military presence to protect travellers to and from the gold and silver rush areas near Lake Tahoe and over the Sierras into California from Indians. The fort was in place for several years before the threat was diminished and the transcontinental railroad ended the need for wagon trains.
