Aise and a special thank you to Newe (Goshute) Cultural Advisor Genevieve Fields and Environmental Specialist Marjle Greymountain-Pete of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation. Cultural Director Arcia Tecun (Daniel Hernandez), Nature Center at Pia Okwai Director Marissa Beckström, and Nature Center Host Isiah Cambridge had the opportunity to visit them and learn some Newe ecological knowledge. This project includes a blog post and two short films that you can now read, watch and listen to some of what we have learned and were given permission to share.
