Reno-Sparks Indian Colony

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC) will purchase library materials, software and computer equipment to support the continued development of two sites: The Reno Library, a site focused on Native American research, programs and activities, and the Hungry Valley Library, a site offering remote services, community-focused programs and activities. RSIC will continue to network and expand resources that preserve the language, culture and history of the Nevada Tribal Nations. The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony will pick back up activities and services that closed during the pandemic. Some services have been adapted for remote access such as e books/readers and mobile libraries. The project will provide a direct benefit to the Washoe, Northern Paiute and Western Shoshone tribal nations.
