Aff. Rep. 1873). The Indians of Walker r. and Pyramid lake claim the Bannock as their cousins, and say that they speak the same language. The dif- erent small bands have little political co- herence, and there is no recognized head- chief. The most influential chiefs among them in modern times have been Winne- raucca, who died a few years ago, and Natchez. As a rule they have been peace- able and friendly toward the whites, al- though in the early sixties they several times came into collision with miners and emigrants, hostility being frequently pro- voked by the whites themselves. The northern Paiute were more warlike than those of the S., and a considerable num- ber of them took part with the Bannock in the war of 1878. Owing to the fact that the great majority of the Paiute (includ- ing the Paviotso) are not on reservations, many of them being attached to the ranches of white men, it is impossible to determine their population, l)ut they may be safely estimated at from 6,500 to 7,000. In 1906 those on reservations in all Nevada were reported to number, at Walker River res., 486; at Moapa res., 129; at Pyramid Lake res., 554; at Duck Valley (Western Shosho'ni agencv), 267; not under an agency (1900), 3, tOO. In Utah there were 76 Kaibab, 154 Shivwits, and 370 Paiute not under an agency; in Arizona, 350 Paiute under the Western
