Atsa Kudok Wa

Atsa Kudok Wa is a name associated with a Northern Paiute people of the northern Nevada desert, translated as the people of the red mountain. Their country lay among the Santa Rosa and Jackson mountains and the valleys around the Quinn River. Water and seasonal foods were dispersed across this basin-and-range landscape, and families travelled between familiar places to hunt and gather. The river and its tributaries provided a thread through the dry country near the northern edge of the Great Basin.
