Early History Native Americans have lived in Ash Meadows for thousands of years settling around spring pools and meadows. Families owned and managed mesquite groves to enhance the size and taste of the nutritious seed pods. For hundreds of years, Native Americans cultivated corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers in small fields irrigated with spring water. From their Ash Meadows homes they traveled to the mountains to gather pinyon pine nuts, hunt bighorn sheep, and exchange news with friends and relatives. Many decendants of the prehistoric Ash Meadows Native Americans live today amoung the nearby Pahrump Southern Paiute and Timbisha Shoshone of Death Valley. The old archeological sites, historic home locations, mesquite groves, and crystal pure water of Ash Meadows remain important elements of modern Shoshone and Paiute culture. |
