Nevadas Indian Territory
In contemporary Nevada, many of the descendents of the states original settlers continue to occupy portions of their ancestral lands. For example, Pyramid Lake, located north of Reno, is located within the boundaries of a Northern Paiute Indian reservation. Reflecting the magnificent natural beauty of the region, Pyramid Lake Rd. (State Rt. 445) has been designated a National Scenic Byway, the only federal scenic byway located entirely within the boundaries of an Indian reservation.
Additionally, the Nevada State Museum in Carson City has an extensive display of native Nevadan artifacts, as well as dioramas showing daily life before the arrival of the white settlers. The Stewart Indian Cultural Center, south of Carson City, was a federal boarding school for Indians until 1980. Today, it houses exhibits on the history of the school. Plan a day trip and charter a coach bus to wisk you from museum to museum.
These days, Nevadas tribes are involved in a variety of business enterprises ranging from native craft shops to smoke shops. The Las Vegas Paiute Resort, owned and operated by the Southern Paiutes, includes two championship golf courses located 20 miles northwest of Las Vegas, in the shadow of the 11,918-foot Charleston Peak.
