Project Support: Western Shoshone Pinyon Project
Funds will support the Western Shoshone Pinyon Project, part of an ongoing effort to retain Native gathering rights.  Project activities include organizing a gathering to discuss how harvesting rights were lost, methods to reclaim the harvest tradition and strategies to protect the forest from corporate interests. Two traditional pine nut ceremonies will be held and educational materials about this ceremonial food will be created.
