Mayor Ken Tedford recognized the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe on Wednesday in a ceremony at City Hall, to celebrate National Native American Heritage Month.
The proclamation recognizes the Fallon Tribe as part of the indigenous groups that have occupied Nevada for 10,000 years. The Fallon Tribe promotes and strives to revitalize the traditional ways of life by providing education in tribal history, languages, the land, and by upholding the cultural values, goals, and tradition of the tribal members. Mayor Tedford said the city recognizes the Fallon community is strengthened by the resiliency of the Native American community and joins with the rest of the State of Nevada to honor Native American Heritage Month.
