Travel to the University of Nevada Reno to search Indian archives with the objective of procuring documents, recordings, and photos that pertain to the local Paiute People will be a focus of the grant as well. In addition, three educational performances where local Native presenters will discuss cultural and historic topics with the general public will be funded.
