"Shaw bwaw sung's Band was a small band which split off from Agosa's band around 1840. The population of this band in 1842 was 52 individuals, with the population increasing to 75 in 1855.

Shaw bwaw sung's band selected most of their allotments in sections 4, 9, and 10 of township 31 north, range 11 west." [From Larry Wyckoff]
