Native Americans have lived in Nevada for thousands of years. During the centuries prior to the arrival of European and U.S. emigrants in the West, the Shoshone, Paiute and Washoe peoples created intricate cultures which harmonized with the desert. Suddenly forced off their lands in the 1800s by an ever-growing population of miners, ranchers and encroaching settlers, Nevada's Native Americans had to make changes that were difficult and often traumatic. Focusing on clothing, dwellings, religion, and economic lifeways, this exhibition examines how Nevada's Native Americans have struggled to survive and preserve their culture while adapting to a changing world. |
