Lake Tahoe, today bisected by the border between California and Nevada, provided the center of traditional Washoe lands. In this relatively isolated environment the Washoe made their homes for thousands of years. Beginning in the mid nineteenth century non-Native people poured into and through Washoe lands on their way to the California gold fields. Eager newcomers pushed Washoe families to the periphery of a growing American society. In the 1860s an agent of the federal government deemed Washoe extinction certain, but they survived. |
