Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 03/06/2014 - 11:57amWe were relieved to read that not all tribal members are supporting the proposed motocross track on the Washoe Tribe’s land. It gave us hope that the Washoe people really do believe in their statement that “the Washoe Tribe have long considered themselves stewards of our land and continue to maintain that position, never to compromise or sacrifice our environmental and archeologically sensitive lands.”
In our opinion the development of a motocross track in the proposed location would be a complete contradiction to this statement.
