Idaho in 10,000 b.c.
 The Shoshone Indians were the next to inhabit the area 8000 years
later
 They had lived in the dessert as nomadic Indians, but some what
settled in Idaho. They lived off of the diverse wildlife in the mountains
and valleys
 The Nez Perce also inhabited Idaho around this time and settled on
some of the many rivers and therefore thrived.

expedition was only 1 to 2 people per square mile.

Willing proposed the name Idaho to Congress as the new name for
the territory.
