They are several communities south and east of Lake Tahoe united under a tribal council.[5] The tribe owns over {{convert|64300|acre}} in different parcels.[1] GovernmentThe tribe is headquartered in Gardnerville, Nevada and governed by a democratically elected twelve-member tribal council and chairman, which meet on a monthly basis. Chairmen serve four-year terms.[6] The current administration is as follows:
CommunitiesCarson ColonyEstablished in 1917, the {{convert|16|acre|adj=on}} community had 275 resident members in 1991.[1] This colony is located in Carson City, Nevada and owns a gymnasium for recreation, youth programs, and hosting tribal events. They have four community representatives.[8] Dresslerville ColonyThis is the largest Washoe community in population. 348 members lived there in 1991.[1] It is located on {{convert|90|acre}} in Gardnerville near the Gardnerville Ranchos. Most of the tribe's public buildings are here, including a community center, gymnasium, and park. They have five community representatives.[9] Stewart CommunityLocated at the south side of Carson City, this community was established in 1890, has {{convert|2960|acre}}, with 90 members.[1] They have the Stewart Community Center. Their five community representatives are chaired by Wanda Batchelor.[10] Washoe RanchThis {{convert|95|acre|adj=on}} ranch in Carson Valley was purchased by the tribe in 1938 and 1940. There the tribe collectively raised hogs, sheep, and a herd of dairy cows. They grew potatoes and peaches. When farm production decreased in the 1950s, the land was temporarily leased to non-Native farmers.[2] Woodfords CommunityThe only community in California, Woodfords Community is located near Markleeville. They have the Woodfords Indian Education Center and a community center. Their five community representatives are chaired by DeAnn Roberts.[11] Established in 1970, the {{convert|80|acre|adj=on}} community had 338 resident members in 1991.[1] As of the 2010 Census the population was 214.[12] HistoryThe California Gold Rush brought an influx of European-American settlers in the mid-19th century. Calls for the establishment of a Washoe reservation and compensation for lost resources, such as the piñon crop, were ignored by the US in the late 19th century. Under the Dawes Act of 1887, Washoes lands were broken up into individual allotments; however, instead of the tribe retaining valuable lands in the Pine Nut Mountains, the allotted sections were typically barren lands with little access to water. In the early 20th century, Washoes worked as ranch hands, as construction workers, domestic servants, or laundry workers. Cattle ranchers leased Washoe land for minimal amounts of money.[3] In 1917, the US government, despite local protest, purchased a tract of land for the Washoe, that became the Carson Colony.[13] A rancher donated {{convert|40|acre}}, also in 1917, that became the Dresslerville Colony.[2] The novel Rabbit Boss by Thomas Sanchez depicts the evolving circumstances of tribal members over a 100-year span ending in the mid-20th century.[14] Under the Indian Reorganization Act, the colonies in the Carson Valley area wrote a new constitution and by-laws, which they ratified on December 16, 1935. They gained federal recognition on January 24, 1936.[2] In 1948, the tribe began preparing a case for the Indian Claims Commission. They filed Washoe Case #288 before the ICC in 1951, asking for $43.8 million for land, fishing and hunting rights, minerals, and timber that had been wrongly taken from the tribe, plus interest accrued since 1863.[15] The case was finally settled in 1970, when the tribe was only awarded $5 million.[2] In the 1960s, John Henry Dressler helped to form the Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada, a liaison between tribal, state, and federal agencies. Since 1966, the council has nine representatives: two from Dresslerville Colony, two from Woodfords Colony, one from the Washoe of Reno Sparks Colony, and two from off-reservation areas.[16] See also
