This project would not have been possible without the experience, opinions and insight of so many tribal members. I would also like to thank the members of my committee, Les Field, Beverly Singer, Joe Watkins, and Leah Wilds for their guidance at critical points in this process. iii Questions of Sovereignty: Pyramid Lake and the Northern Paiute Struggle for Water and Rights ANDREW CAREY B.A., Anthropology, University of Nevada, Reno, 1988 M.A., Anthropology, University of Nevada, Reno, 1996 Ph.D., Anthropology, University of New Mexico, 2016 Abstract The current U.S. government policy of Indian Self-Determination is determined by the principle of tribal sovereignty, which defines how issues identified in Indian Country are addressed. However, tribal sovereignty represents an ideal that has regularly been ignored or contested by private and corporate entities, as well as state and federal government agencies. My research explores this case study of the successful assertion of tribal sovereignty by the Pyramid Lake Paiute tribe as they worked to save Pyramid Lake, the spiritual and economic heart of their reservation. The Pyramid Lake Tribe employed several strategies to secure water for Pyramid Lake and to save the endangered endemic species of fish, the cui-ui and Lahonton cutthroat trout, from extinction. They were opposed by an iron triangle composed of the Nevada Group, an interest group of Nevada water users, the Bureau of Reclamation, and Nevada’s congressional delegation which tried to monopolize the waters of the Truckee River. Through numerous court cases and lobbying Congress, the Pyramid Lake Tribe was able to establish that no water issues could be settled without their input. With this iv nearly all stake holders entered into negotiations to reach an agreement that would serve the needs of every group: the Truckee-Carson-Pyramid Lake Negotiated Settlement Agreement, or PL101-618. The Truckee River Operating agreement was then worked out over the next eighteen years to operationalize PL101-618. I also explore the question of “where sovereignty lies,” which has important implications for legitimacy of government. For the U.S. government, sovereignty on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian reservation lies with the enrolled members of the tribe; However, there is evidence that for some of the people at Pyramid Lake, sovereignty lies with the families. I suggest this disconnect may drive factional conflict within the Pyramid Lake Tribe, which interferes with tribal governance. The members of the Pyramid Lake Tribe and their council are actively working to find solutions to issues created by the limitations of tribal sovereignty and resolutions to the internal conflict that creates animosity among the tribal members. They favor solutions that do not limit their sovereignty. v CONTENTS 1.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

Almost one million rides each year given through the NDOT/ Federal Transit Administration pass through Funding programs. Our state partners are Division for Aging Services, Rehabilitation, DMV and Transportation Services Authority (PSC). The Advisory Committee for Transit brings all the interested parties together several times a year to discuss important common issues. Fallon CART Bus The American Public Transit Association estimates that for each dollar invested on public transit, it returns six dollars to the local economy. NDOT administers approximately 10 million dollars of Federal rural transit funds annually for programs statewide. Each program requires a local match that can be difficult for local providers to raise. We are on track for administering about $20M in the next few years. Rides are given on buses for almost all activities including cultural and tribal functions, transportation to senior citizen centers for meals, shopping, medical, government services and social activities.

We examined qualitative and geospatial data derived from oral history interviews, participatory GIS focus groups, archival records, and historical forest surveys to characterize cultural fire regimes (CFRs) –an element of historical fire regimes– of moist mixed conifer (MMC), dry mixed conifer (DMC), and shrub-grassland (SG) zones. Our ethnohistorical evidence indicated a pronounced cultural fire regime in the MMC zone, but not in the two drier zones. The CFR of the MMCzonewas characterized by frequent (few-year recurrence), low-severity burns distributed in a shifting pattern. This regime helped to maintain forest openings created by previous ignitions, resulting from lightning or possibly human-set, that had burned large areas. The CFR was influenced by the CTWS traditional knowledge system, which consisted of four elements: fire use and associated resource tending practices, tribal ecological principles, the seasonal round (the migratory pattern tofulfill resource needs), and culture.

Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant. (3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has also adopted procedures (stated in Chapter 67 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances) for the identification, recognition, protection, and preservation of the region’s significant cultural, historical, archaeological, and paleontological resources. Sections 67.3.2, 67.4 and 67.5 require a site survey by a qualified archaeologist, an inventory of any extant cultural resources, and consultation with the appropriate Native American group. Provisions for a report documenting compliance with the TRPA Code are contained in Section 67.7. Within this regulatory context, cultural resource studies are customarily performed in a series of phases, each one building upon information gained from the prior study.

  • The Sheep Eater Shoshone – the Tukudeka Objective: Students Will Write a Historical Fiction Account, Using Historical Facts To
    The Sheep Eater Shoshone – The Tukudeka Objective: Students will write a historical fiction account, using historical facts to make it realistic, of a week spent as a Sheep Eater Shoshone. Connections: Social Studies Writing Informational Text Note Taking Background: See “History of the Sheep Eaters”, which also can serve an informational text for students to read. Procedures: 1. Show a photo of a Sheep Eater Shoshone (Tukudeka) and ask students how they think “Sheep Eaters” earned their name. Explain that they will be learning more about one of the last groups of people to live away from modernization and then they will “become” one of these people and tell a story about a short segment of their year. It is suggested students write about one particular event that takes place over a day or week. 2. Either read the “History of the Sheep Eaters” to class or have students read it on their own. You may suggest students take notes or highlight information to help them write their story later. 3. You may wish to show them the entire segment of the movie “Sheep Eaters: Keepers of the Past” found on the USB drive or on YouTube. This is a 27- minute film accounting historical background of the people. Perhaps even starting the film at 2:59 would bypass some slow parts. The film uses excerpts from G.A. Allen’s book written in 1913 when he interviewed the last living member of the Sheep Eaters. (the actual book is in PDF on the USB drive called “Sheep Eaters by W.A.

Spawning runs of cui-ui and cutthroat trout (mclarki provided a readily available and dependable source of food. There can be no doubt the shores of Pyramid Lake were highly val- ued as a haven against the uncertainty and hardship of obtaining food in the arid and often inhospitable lands of the Great Basin.

Those books, piled on my desk, floor, and bedside table, have variously angered, inspired, and enlightened me as I worked my way through this project, but I am grateful for their company and conversation. Luckily, I had a number of generous professors who kept funneling these books my way and enthusiastically discussed them with me, not least of which were the members of my dissertation committee. James Cox, my director, offered unflagging enthusiasm and guidance and asked just the right questions to push me into new areas of inquiry. Lisa Moore, Gretchen Murphy, John González, and Deborah Paredez lit the way towards this project through engaging seminars, lengthy reading lists, challenging comments on drafts, and crucial support in the final stages. Other members of the English department faculty made a substantial impact on my development as a teacher and scholar.
