Of all the wild animals associated with prehistoric man, petroglyphs and pictographs of the big horn were the most prevalent. It is said that the prehistoric native peoples of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah and Idaho were once as dependent on the big horn as the Plains Indians were on the bison. Big horn sheep provided many of life's necessities especially food and clothing. Ram horns were used to make impressive head dresses, prized bows for the hunters, and tools and utensils. Embers were carried in ram horns for ceremonial fires, and special significance was given to the big horn when he appeared in dreams and vision quests.

The Shoshoni have a story called The Sheep Eaters which states that the local Medicine Wheel was built by a people of that name, and that each of the twenty-eight spokes of this Medicine Wheel represented a tribe of the Sheep Eaters. It is said the Medicine Wheel also honored some of their gods, including their god of plenty, goddess of beauty, and their chief god, the sun god. The Shoshoni also believed that the Sheep Eaters lived beneath the wheel, and survived on the meat of bighorn sheep, which are indigenous to that area.
