An American Indian tribe with deep roots in the Lake Tahoe basin is seeking to reclaim land that’s part of a Nevada resort area.
The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California wants to ask Congress for nearly 375 acres of federal land in Incline Village.
The property includes land that’s part of Diamond Peak Ski Resort and along fairways at Incline Village Championship Golf Course.
Tribal chairman Neil Mortimer made the request as part of an effort by Washoe County to shift thousands of acres from federal to private or local government ownership.
The Washoe are not the only party interested in being the recipient of the transfer, find out more by reading the original story ->
