Mono/Paiute
I've been trying to sort this out for quite a while... Waterman used the term Northern Paiute in 1911 (Fowler and Liljeblad, "Northern Paiute," Handbook of North American Indians: Great Basin, 462), and Kroeber's the one, in the 1920s, who popularized the idea of Northern and Southern Paiute and included Owens Valley Paiute in the mix (Kelly and Fowler, "Southern Paiute," Handbook of North American Indians: Great Basin, 394). Merriam clarified the linguistic boundaries in the region in the 1930s; he recognized that people on the Mono Lake area spoke Northern Paiute, and labeled Owens Valley Paiute as Eastern Mono (Fowler and Liljebald, 462). In 1955, Merriam published a list of the many times "Mono Lake Northern Paiute" had been classified as Mono from the 1850s to the 1930s (Fowler and Liljeblad, 462-3).

The tribal designations in the Great Basin and particularly the area where California meets the Great Basin are highly fluid and flexible, and online some people regard the Western Mono as being a subset of the Northern Paiute. The Western Mono or Monache are clustered around North Fork, Auberry, and Dunlap, California (Dalrymple 3). They speak the Mono language (Hinton, Flutes of Fire, 30). The so-called Eastern Mono, more commonly known as Owens Valley Paiute, traditionally live in Owens Valley around the Owens River, California and speak the Owens Valley Paiute language (Hinton, 30). It seems people exclusively describe these early 20th century basketweavers as "Mono Lake Paiute" but this term is not commonly used for any contemporary group. The Mono Lake Paiute are the southernmost group of Northern Paiute speakers, from the area around Mono Lake and the eastern edge of Yosemite National Park in California (Dalrymple 3). They are all very closely related, making designations even more challenging.

Mono Lake Northern Paiute are known as the Kutsavidokado, Kucadikadi, or Kuzedika, "Eaters of the Brine Fly Pupae" (Fowler and Liljebald, 464, and Simeone, Mono "The Biogeography of Mono Lake alkali fly (Ephydra hians)." 2000). I was able to visit with a Navajo anthropologist who had worked extensively with California and Great Basins tribes, and he was able to explain and give independent confirmation that the Mono Lake Paiute are Northern Paiute people. -Uyvsdi (talk) 16:44, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi


 * Thank you very much for the detailed information. I don't claim expertise on these issues, but I know that there is a blogger called Yosemite_Indian who is very assertive in claiming that "Mono Lake Paiute" is the correct terminology.  My motivation here is to improve coverage of the art of Yosemite and the High Sierra, including but not limited to Native American art.  I believe that people should be called by what they designated themselves, and this blogger argues that these artists thought of themselves in English as Mono Lake Paiute.  What are your comments?

 * I have absolutely no problem in the world with the term "Mono Lake Paiute." It's just that previously the article suggested that Mono Lake Paiute are Mono tribal members rather than Northern Paiute, which is where the confusion arises. They are Paiute people who live in the region of Mono Lake, whereas Mono tribes are further south. -Uyvsdi (talk) 01:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
