Walker River Indian Reservation 4-H
The Walker River Indian Reservation is located in west-central Nevada
and is one of the three largest Indian reservations in the State of
Nevada, located in Mineral, Lyon and Churchill Counties. A recent needs
assessment of reservation households identified unemployment in the
rural area as the number one community risk factor followed closely by
alcohol and drug abuse. The Tribe has been a part of the FRTEP since
about 1992 and has had several different agents on the reservation,
which have tried to start a traditional Club oriented 4-H program.
Location
Pyramid Lake Project Office on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation
The community vitality, both economic and social, of the Pyramid Lake
Paiute Reservation is strongly dependent on agriculture, natural
resources, and environmental protection due to its reliance on Pyramid
Lake and surrounding lands which are heavily impacted by the adjacent
Reno-Sparks Metropolitan Area. The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (the
"Tribe"), EIRP, and the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension
("UNCE") Washoe County Office have insufficient funding on their own to
establish a Pyramid Lake project office.
