Summer

The summer shelter was a shade or windbreak type structure made from willows, juniper, and/or brush. These structures could be either flat or dome shaped.

Berries, mesquite beans, and other plants were picked during the summer to supplement the diet.

In late summer, big game such as deer, antelope, and mountain sheep were hunted and the meat was dried. Hides were dried and saved for tanning in the winter months.

Bows and arrows were used for hunting, especially big game. Nets and clubs were used for the small game. Knives were made from bone or certain types of stone.
