UC Davis Tahoe Science Center

Join siblings—Herman and Helen Fillmore, members of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California—as they tell the legend of how Washoe trickster brothers, Puwecili and Damalali, shaped the Tahoe Basin. Herman is the director of the Cultural and Language Resources Department for the Washoe Tribe. Helen has her master’s degree in hydrology and is one of the chemists at TERC. Together they will discuss how this story aligns with the geomorphological history of the Tahoe Basin (spoiler: it involves a tsunami), and its implications on Washoe resilience, current-day land management perspectives, and the underrated role of human experiences in scientific endeavors.NOTE: Due to the overwhelming interest in this presentation, we have moved this event to the UC Davis Tahoe Science Center located at 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, Nevada.There are a limited number of free parking spaces available for those displaying a Temporary Visitor Parking Permit (below) on their dashboard and parked in a designated "UC Davis" parking spot shown in blue below. You can print the attached permit or obtain a temporary parking permit at the front desk inside the Tahoe Science Center. Otherwise, attendees will need to pay for parking using the UNR Lake Tahoe parking payment system as described on the signage in the lot.
