Clara Woodson (Battle Mountain, NV) and Gracie Begay (Austin, NV), both Western Shoshone, explain their early lives, what life was like when they were younger, and different parts of their family background. They both talk about different stories including the Coyote playing Hand Game, Shoshoni beliefs on death, and one of their elders Maggie, who had the power to turn into a wolf. Clara describes her frustrations with the government and tells how they never received proper compensation for what was taken from the Western Shoshone.

Oral history interview with Naomi Mason, Western Shoshone from Owyhee, NV, on 04/23/2014
<p>Naomi Mason was born in 1929 and is currently a member of the Duck Valley Reservation. Naomi begins her oral history by speaking of her mother and father’s lives, and how they belong to the Dosa Wihi (White Knife) clan. She speaks of the Carlin Farm reservation, Duck Valley Reservation (Owyhee), and how the Shoshone would ranch these areas or be employed as cowboys. Naomi also speaks of the Native Agents during the 1910s in Owyhee. She also tells us of her fellow peers going to Stewart Indian School or Chemawa as well as the Reorganization Act of 1934. She also speaks of her schooling from Berkley and ISU, as well as her career as a public nurse. She draws attention to the culture and history of the Shoshone people within the Nevada area.</p>

From Introduction:
"Hello Readers! Great Basin College Nature Club has returned for another season of adventures. We at Nature Club promote physical fitness, collaboration between students, and public education on our local wildlife and environment. This semester our main theme throughout our articles is water and its effects on everyday life. In this issue, you will learn about the water sources, where it travels, how it helps all of us as humans, and how its presence or even absence can also pose both dangers and advantages. Thank you for reading, and enjoy this is-sue!"

From "Life Begins in the Desert" (introductory article):
"Greetings readers! Great Basin College Nature Club began late in the Fall of 2013 with just a few ambitious young students under the guidance of Dr. Rita Bagwe who is the biology instructor in Pahrump. Our goal as a club is to explore and learn about our surrounding environments and share that knowledge with those around us. It has been an honor and privilege to see the emergence of such an amazing group of students come together and explore nature as a team.
"The Nature Club dedicates each Spring/Fall semester to one theme. The theme for this newsletter is 'Desert Life'. From the lowest point in North America at Badwater Basin, to the peak of Dante’s View in Death Valley, the unique wildlife of Ash Meadows, the oasis of dates at China Ranch, and much more, the GBC Nature Club has explored the desert theme to it’s fullest since we began. We welcome you on our journey and we are excited and honored to have this issue come alive. It’s Nature Club’s first newsletter, and most certainly not our last. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we have enjoyed writing it."
