One of the northern Numic branches of the large Uto-Aztecan language family. Paiutes often prayed and conducted rituals to influence the spirits of nature and to show respect and gratitude to them. The Paiutes' believed that there was one most-powerful spirit being, often called simply the "one who made the earth". Many parts of the natural world were visible aspects of this spirit. These included the sun, to which most Paiutes prayed at sunrise, noon, and sunset; and the Coyote and Wolf, seeing the good and virtuous Wolf and wicked and silly Coyote as two necessary sides of the same all-powerful creator. There were other supernatural beings also part of the Paiutes’ world, such as the Thunder People and Water Babies.
