Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Moson Kahni was a wintering town used by the Northern Shoshone tribe during the 19th century. It is located within the Cache Valley, in parts of current-day Franklin and Preston, Idaho. In Shoshoni, Moson Kahni means "Home of the Lungs", a reference to the plentiful amounts of holocrystalline syeno-diorite, which appeared to look like lungs to the Shoshone. Moson Kahni is considered to be a major Shoshone shelter and permanent winter encampment for the tribe.
