A report on Shoshone, Washoe people, Northern Paiute people and Nevada

The Washoe or Wašišiw ("people from here", or transliterated in older literature as Wa She Shu) are a Great Basin tribe of Native Americans, living near Lake Tahoe at the border between California and Nevada.

The Northern Paiute people are a Numic tribe that has traditionally lived in the Great Basin region of the United States in what is now eastern California, western Nevada, and southeast Oregon.

Their peoples have become members of federally recognized tribes throughout their traditional areas of settlement, often co-located with the Northern Paiute people of the Great Basin.

Western Shoshone: Nevada, northern Utah

American Indians of the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe tribes inhabit what is now Nevada.

The Washoe people and the neighboring Northern Paiute people were culturally and linguistically very different, and these two tribes were sometimes in conflict.

Relations among the Northern Paiute and their Shoshone neighbors were generally peaceful.

Relations with the Waasseoo or Washoe people, who were culturally and linguistically very different, were not so peaceful.

The colony in Reno, Nevada, which also has a substantial Paiute, Washoe and Shoshoni population, gained separate recognition as the Reno–Sparks Indian Colony.
