DESERT PEOPLES: WORDS FROM ANCESTORS is a joint exhibition with the Nevada State Museum, Springs Preserve, The Clark County Museum, and the City of Las Vegas. It features a rare 19th Century handwritten journal containing translations from Southern Paiute ( ) into English —preserving words and meanings that had, un some cases been forgotten over time.
The exhibition opened tonight and remains on viewing the Las Vegas City Hall Grand Gallery through November 19, 2026.
Institutional exhibitions dedicated to indigenous art and culture are generally rare and so I encourage all Las Vegas locals and visitors to check this out.
