NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATIONS IN NEVADA Each year there is a theme for the Crime in Nevada publication. In the past, these have included, missing children, the history of Nevada, historical courthouses and hurricane relief to name a few. The theme chosen this year is Native American Reservations in Nevada to pay homage to the indigenous people of Nevada; for they were the first people to live in this place we call Nevada. The focus is intended to highlight the proud peoples who have been here thousands of years before the settlers came and those who continue to preserve the heritage of these grand peoples. The Paiute, Western Shoshone and Washoe tribes are all present in Nevada. Each tribe can and does have many colonies within their ancestral lands. The population on the reservations and colonies is about 8,200 people, who utilize 1.25 million acres of trust land, which reaches over a region of 100,000 square miles. Most tribes hold cultural events that preserve their heritage and educate the public of their grand history. To find what events are happening, conduct an Internet search using the name of the specific Reservation or Colony; most have websites with calendars of events and further information on their individual tribe and or colonies. The following page lists the Reservations and Colonies in Nevada. Websites have been included for those that were available. Our intent was to recognize the indigenous peoples of Nevada. If we have inadvertently left a reservation off the list we sincerely apologize. Note: Each crime category is predefined and presented in this report in the order of its established Uniform Crime Reporting hierarchy. Each of the Reservations highlighted at the beginning of each report section were assigned alphabetically. There is no association between any crime category and the respective Reservation highlighted in a particular section. STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY Brian Sandoval, Governor Chris Perry, Director Department of Public Safety Patrick J. Conmay, Division Chief Records and Technology Division Dianne Draper, NCJIS Program Specialist Supervisor Josh Porter, Statistician II Nicole Davis, Administrative Assistant IV APPRECIATION The success of the Nevada Uniform Crime Reporting Program hinges on the complete, accurate and timely participation of all of Nevada's law enforcement agencies. The program was established with the support of criminal justice and law enforcement agencies statewide in July of 1991 (NRS 179A.078). Although responsibility for actual development and execution of the program was vested in the Nevada Department of Public Safety, the individuals at the municipal, county and state levels who submit the raw data are the entities ultimately critical to viability. Accordingly, we recognize the following dedicated people.
