Gatekeeper's MuseumWashoe Led Community Gathering

The event will include Washoe led song, dance, stories, demonstrations and discussions as well as museum and garden tours. The goal of the event is to create a community-centered conversation about the Rights of Nature and the future of Da’aw’ 'Tahoe'—through decolonizing the design of a stewarding process that holds Indigenous Knowledges at the center. Working together are artists, scientists, and Washoe Basketmakers, Singers and Knowledge Keepers--who are now designing the Future Gardens together, a process of land stewarding that prioritizes indigenous leadership and the material, cultural, and spiritual plants of importance to the Wà:šiw.
