The History & Culture of the Washo People
This Event has no scheduled dates at this time. It last occurred on Wednesday, November 16, 2022.
Event Description:
The Washoe Peoples presence at Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas dates back to time immemorable as they are one of the oldest Tribes and Languages within the Great Basin and Sierra Mountains. The Federal Government, tourism and development during the last century have driven the Washoe Tribe to the fringes of their aboriginal territory and disastrously impacted Washoe ancestral lands. This talk will help those who live within the Washoe Tribes aboriginal homelands today gain a greater understanding of what the landscape, wildlife and people who lived here were like in the past and how they have persevered to keep their way of life alive today.
