Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe

COVID-19 Response

The project will help our youth retain and increase the knowledge of the Paiute Cultural customs and beliefs through a Summer Cultural Day Camp. Tribal elders and community members' will share their knowledge and expertise through hands-on and classroom activities. High School and College students will be utilized as mentors.

The ultimate purpose of the summer day camp program is to teach youth Pyramid Lake Paiute culture through a language immersion program, as well as traditional dances and games all in an effort to preserve and perpetuate tribal culture. This program is a catalyst to enable youth the ability to retain their tribal identity. The program will utilize tribal elders and community members to teach youth fun-filled and engaging activities designed to preserve and strengthen tribal culture. The project will create much needed employment for college and high school students on the reservation while they themselves learn about culture.
