Yakwahnim'paa

Yakwahnim Paa lies in the Owyhee country near Duck Valley, among the high desert valleys south of the Snake River. Shoshone and Northern Paiute people have long lived around the Owyhee River, using its waters and the surrounding uplands for fishing, hunting and gathering. The country formed part of a wider network of seasonal camps across the northern Great Basin. Families travelled between river valleys and dry plateaus to harvest foods available at different times of year.
