WZGT Founding Member

It is with much love and tenderness that we remember our late WZGT board member–Joanne Nevers. Daughter of .......... , and Grandmother to many. Joanne will be remembered by many tribal members as a tribal historian and wisdom keeper. She wrote the book, "Wa She Shu: A Washoe Tribal History" and participated in creating the first roll for the Washoe members in the early (date). Her knowledge of the Washoe culture and the historical events that led us to this present day has been invaluable. Joanne is a founding member of WZGT.
