Shoshone?

I believe that Sacagawea has been referred to as a Snake Indian (or it is said that she spoke Snake, per this: Sacagawea#The Lewis and Clark expeditions). Did the term "Snake Indian" per this article include the Shoshone or this a completely separate usage? Should the first paragraph of the Shoshone article have the link go to this article instead of Snake (disambiguation) (which only mentions the Shoshone)?

Yes. The "Snake" people were Western Shoshone, of whom both the Paiute & Bannock people were a part. The Snake River was a boundary of their territory. Properly this article should be merged with & redirect to Western Shoshone.
