Tony Tillohash (born on Kaibab, Utah) was a Paiute Indian who worked with linguist Edward Sapir to describe the Southern Paiute language. In 1910, Tillohash was removed from his home in Utah to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. There Tillohash began working with Sapir, then employed at the nearby University of Pennsylvania. Together they recorded many Paiute songs, and Sapir describes Tillohash's musical memory with some amazement: The work ultimately led to a book-length description of the language, now considered a classic in linguistics.
