Thirsty Canyon, Nevada Test and Training Range, and The Shoshones of Oasis Valley
Summary
The Shoshone families who wintered in Oasis Valley spent most of the year traveling around in search of plants and animals that they used for food, medicine, and other subsistence purposes. This study focuses on one area that was used for these purposes, Thirsty Canyon, and the Shoshone people who used the area until its closure to the public in the 1940s.
