Abstract
|
The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California (Washoe Tribe) does not have a large reservation land base. Rather it has several disconnected parcels (25 excluding allotment lands). A majority of the Tribal members reside within these four parcels: Carson, Stewart, Dresslerville, and Woodfords Communities. Other members live off-reservation. All of these communities are at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Washoe Tribe Wiskeem Project (Project) was a Congressionally Directed Project identified for funding in the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010. The Project focused on installing up to four small vertical wind turbines at designated locations on Tribal lands to offset energy costs for the Tribe. The Washoe Tribe will use and analyze data collected from the wind turbines to better understand the wind resource.
