Washoe Cultural Talk
Hosted by members of the Washoe Tribe at High Camp.
Join members of the Washoe Tribe at High Camp where they will share stories of Washoe history and culture from the Valley and surrounding mountains. The Washoe Tribe has deep roots in Olympic Valley, Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains that will be discussed in-depth. Your host will also talk about the surrounding natural landmarks, the local animals and plants and how they used them, and why changing the name of the resort that sits on their ancestral land is important to the Washoe Tribe. Guests can view artifacts that show the Washoe way of life that Tribe members seek to preserve today.
Please note: This is an outdoor event except in the case of inclement weather. We recommend that you be prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and other proper sun protection.
