Reno-Sparks Indian Colony
The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony is an urban Native American Tribe whose members have Washoe, Paiute and Shoshone heritage. The Tribe has a colony in central Reno, Nevada and a reservation (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) in Hungry Valley, which is about 17 miles north of Reno.
The colony started out as a neighborhood in Reno where Native Americans who worked in local businesses and ranches lived. Under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, these people formed a tribal government. The Tribe was later granted land in Hungry Valley for a reservation.
