Join Us
In our culture, land, language, food and life are bound together, inseparable. When our people were displaced from the land, we were separated from everything that sustained us. The impacts were devastating.
The creation of the Wášiw-šiw Land Trust is a cultural and economic turning point for our people. By supporting our work, you can join us in creating a new future for our people, and for the land that sustains us.

We Need Your Help
We are just getting started. In the next few months, we will be hiring staff, acquiring land, developing restoration plans, and starting the long-term work of healing the land. We will also be starting to get Washoe elders and youth out on the land together, so the elders can share their knowledge with younger members of the tribe. This is a joyful time for us, but we have a lot of work to do.
Every dollar you give will make a big difference. For the land, and for our culture. Your support is needed and appreciated.
Thank You!
