The Washoe Tribe of Nevada/California is located on the Nevada/California border.
Establishment:
The Washoe tribe has always been a unique tribe. When the Maker scattered the seeds of humanity a few were left over. With all other areas taken he gave the Washoe a place he had saved for himself, Lake Tahoe. He knew they would protect this special place, as they have for over 9,000 years.
For over 400 generations Lake Tahoe has been the center of Washoe life. It's crystal waters supported all living things including the Washoe People. In the early spring, Washoe families would gather at Tahoe to hunt and fish, celebrate the end of Winter and give thanks to the Maker.
The family unit was the strength of the Washoe Tribe. In the days before Europeon contact family groups lived in all areas of Washoe Lands. Spring and Summer were spent at Tahoe and in the high Mountains. In the Fall they gathered in the lower Mountains to harvest Pine Nuts. This was also a time of celebration and the reaffirmation of Tribal unity. Winters were spent in the lower valleys to the East, valleys which now hold the Reno/Sparks, Carson City, and Minden/Gardnerville areas.
At the Tribes's peak, they were about 5,000 strong. In the late 19th Century their numbers diminished to 300. Today they have about 1500 Tribal members.
While the Washoe Tribe may be small in population, it is greatlly endowed with natural, economic and political resources.
