The name “Washoe“ or, “Washo“ (as preferred, by themselves), is derived from the autonym “Waashiw“ (wa·šiw or, wá:šiw) in the Washo language, or, from “Wašišiw“ (waší:šiw), the plural form of wašiw. The Washoe people have lived in the Great Basin and the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains for the last 6,000 years, some say, up to 9,000 years. Prior to contact with Europeans, the territory of the Washoe People centered around Lake Tahoe and was roughly bounded by the southern shore of Honey Lake, in the north, the West Walker River, Topaz Lake and Sonora Pass, in the south, the Sierra Nevada crest, in the west and the Pine Nut Mountains and Virginia Range in the east. Beside Lake Tahoe, the Washoe utilized the upper ranges of the Carson (dá:bal k’iláʔam), West Walker and Truckee (dabayóduweʔ) Rivers, to the east. Washoe Lake, (c’óʔyaʔ dáʔaw), was named after the Washoe People. “During the California gold rush, followed by the subsequent silver rush in Nevada a few years later, thousands of miners and immigrants flooded Wá∙šiw lands in a relatively short time period and they stayed here, disrupting the balance; changing the Wá∙šiw world, forever, in only a few short years. The demand on the natural resources by the immigrant population, depleted much of it. The logging industry denuded the forests and scarred the Pine Nut Mountains, to support the mining industry and towns, that sprang up everywhere. The fisheries of Lake Tahoe, once bountiful, with the native cutthroat trout had been reduced to nothing and livestock replaced the native herbivores. The Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California is asking you to respect your history and culture and leave cultural resources alone, for our present and future generations.“ FOR MORE INFORMATION: Washoe Tribe of California and Nevada 919 U.S. Hwy 395 N, Gardnerville, Nevada, USA. 89410 Phone: 775-265-8600 Website: ------------------------------------------------ I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video and music expressed in this employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.
