This special tribute originally debuted last year and honors the important cultural roots of Southern Nevada while celebrating handcrafted Southern Paiute fine art, folk crafts, music and dance. In October, Downtown Summerlin, the community’s vibrant urban core, hosted the Southern Paiute and Culture District during the 27th annual Summerlin Festival of Arts. November is Native American Heritage Month, and for Summerlin and its residents, it’s a special time to recognize Southern Paiute lands that cover much of Southern Nevada and the important cultural roots of the area.
Many intertribal friends and cultural backgrounds were represented, including Southern Paiute, Northern Paiute, Shoshone, Cherokee, Tewa, Dińe and Mexica, to name a few.
