Another 500 were taken prisoner and later sentenced to a variety of punishments. All were found guilty and Juan de Onate ordered their punishment. All men over 25 years old had one foot cut off and were forced to serve as slaves ... On This Day (2/15/1866): In 1866 Major Samuel P. Smith and a combined force of 53 soldiers and 30 civilians attacked a camp of Paiutes in Guano Valley, near the -Nevada border. Over 80 Paiute warriors were killed, along with 15 women and children. The battle was part of the so-called Snake War (1864-1868) during which the military fought groups of Northern Paiute, Bannock and Shoshone in an attempt to confine their movements to the newly designated reservation lands. Over the course of the “war” over 1,700 Northern Paiute, Bannock and Shoshone were killed. On Feb 15 in 1971 Pyramid Lake tribal council chair Teddy James told state legislative committees that the /Nevada Interstate Compact—a water agreement between the two states—”hastens the death of our Indian society and hastens the death of the lake” and Nevada Intertribal Council director Hunter said “the compact may be good for California and good for Nevada but it is in no way good for the Indians”—but Reno attorney Paul Richards, representing hunting and fishing groups, said “Our concern is a guarantee of water to Nevada…Let us fight among ourselves after we get it.”; in 2002 George W. Bush approved Nevada’s selection for a dump at Yucca Mountain for high level nuclear wastes. ****************************************************************************** Eaton Dunkelberger We're hiring a Kitchen Manager, Maintenance Manager, and Maintenance Technician for our science camp in Portola, CA.

Taylor's Cultural Property Status The New Mexico Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, found that Mt. Taylor was properly designated a cultural property by the New Mexico Cultural Properties Review Committee. Listing as a cultural property requires New Mexico agencies to consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer before allowing activity that may negatively impact the site. Mt. Taylor’s designation had been challenged by mining interests and others and was under review by the state Supreme Court. The National Trust participated in the litigation and presented oral argument as friend of the court in support of the tribes and the Cultural Properties Review Committee.

BerryNative‎ American/First Nations Literature So, what shall I tell you? Stories, wonderful stories, Of journeys and night skies not my own. About islands where a story teller rests, Sunsets flashing green, and flaming red and orange. Deserts where winds still at my command, And prophets walked across the sands. Where Crusaders fought Saracens, And shadows and spirits wing West, Towards the night lands, Across Homer's wine dark sea. Or shall I tell you stories of home lands, Where ancestors lay. So, what shall I tell you, would you listen.

We are never entitled anything in this world however we are blessed with what we are given. I hope we realize this in our lifetime instead of at the end when it becomes a regret.

We work with the language of the Koodzabe Duka'a (the brine fly pupae eaters of Mono Lake), the Wey Dukadu or Pogi Dukadu (the rye grass seed eaters of Bridgeport, California), the Onabe Dukadu (the salt eaters of Coleville, California), and the Pehabe Paa (the Paiute of Sweetwater, Nevada). Our goals are to create comprehensive documentation of this language, including a dictionary and text corpus, and to develop pedagogical materials from this documentation.
