The Washoe Tribe spent their summers in Lake Tahoe thousands of years ago, and this weekend they shared their history, food and customs with the public during the annual Wa-SheShu It'Deh festival this weekend.
They currently live in four reservation communities in Northern Nevada and California: Woodfords, Dresslerville, Stewart and Carson City as well as in the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. Members from the tribe came together at Valhalla in dance and music, told stories and shared generations of history.
Vendors sold Indian themed tacos, jewelry, art and clothing. There were demonstrations and exhibits as well.
If you didn't make it this year you'll want to add it to your "to do" list next summer.
