Washiw Zulshish Goom Tahn Nu (Washoe Warrior Society) is a grassroots non-profit organization consisting of Wašiw community members–mostly elders who have endeavored to construct Wašiw Tahn Nu Ungal (the Washoe Peoples House) since 2009; a spiritual/cultural gathering house dedicated to ceremony, prayer, and the cultural teachings of Wašišiw (the people from here).
Washiw Zulshish Goom Tahn Nu believes that the time to come together to heal the land, the water and the people is NOW!

“The time for us to come together is Now!”
WZGT Founding members Frank Grayshield and Melba Rakow share about the Dream to build the Peoples' House. Press the play button to listen to their message.
WZGT is currently seeking funding for land and materials to build Washiw T'anu' Angal (The Peoples House) on traditional Washiw homelands. "Land Back is a movement to not only reclaim land but also Language, Ceremony, Medicine and our Relationship with one another. We understand that these elements are inseparable while recognizing our ancestors and elders whose struggle, organizing, and sacrifice allow us to continue the work today" (NDN Collective, 2023). We are inviting you to join Washiw Zulshish Gum T'anu in this Land Back movement.
