- With wildfire threatening many areas surrounding Lake Tahoe this summer, members of the Washoe Tribe have embarked on a project to integrate use of their tribe's traditional knowledge into current land management strategies to restore Tahoe's Meeks Meadows, an area of cultural significance to the tribe. For centuries, the tribe's cultural practices helped mitigate wildfire risk, as well as enhance wildlife and resilience to drought. The Washoe tribe managed the land at Meeks Meadow before the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Virginia City in 1859, one of the richest silver mines in American history. (Nevada Today)
