Tanalelti

The Tanalelti, or Westerners, were a regional group of the Washoe people, whose homeland included Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada. Washoe families moved between the lake and lower valleys as the seasons changed. When spring allowed travel to the lake, people caught fish and dried them on racks. Pine nuts, seeds and dried meat were stored for winter, when families lived at lower elevations.

The later city of Carson City lies nearby.
