Nevadans are celebrating Archaeological Awareness and Historic Preservation Week concurrently from May 14 - May 20, 2000. We hope you'll join the Nevada Archaeological Association and the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office by participating in one of these activities. All ages are welcome.
All events are free and open to the public except where otherwise noted.

Enjoy tours of the refuge, hands-on activities, traditional skills demonstrations, coloring and poster contexts, an art show and informative displays for children and adults. Festival highlights include dance and drum performances by the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Sage Spirit Dance Group and an ethnobotany tour of the refuge.
