Goshute Goshute

Goshute - Definition and Overview

The Goshutes are a Native American tribe that once numbered 20,000. Only 500 remain.

About 125 belong to the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians located in Utah. About 30 live on an 18,000 acre (73 km&sup2) reservation in Utah. Their chief claim to fame is as a proposed location for an 820 acre (3 km&sup2) dry cask storage facility for the storage of 40,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel.
