Moadokado

The Moadokado were Northern Paiute people associated with Summit Lake and the surrounding desert of the northern Great Basin. The lake, set among dry valleys and mountains, provided fish in a country where open water was scarce. People also gathered wild plants and hunted animals in the uplands. The name Moadokado has been translated as wild onion eaters, while another name for the community refers to eating fish from the lake.
