Yerington Paiute Tribe

Yerington Paiute Tribe (YPT) will better support and enhance community afterschool and summer youth activities with language and culture programs. It will continue to increase the number of language and culture classes held in the library in a structured seasonal pattern with an emphasis on the Paiute people. To help tribal members overcome barriers to accessing traditional foods, it will support the continuation of cultural plants and vegetation through hands-on teaching workshops and interactions within the hoop house and share elder knowledge of traditional plants. This project will benefit residents and tribal members of all ages who live on the reservation and colony of the YPT.
