Located in Reno, Nev., the RSIC consists of 1,296 members from three Great Basin Tribes – the Paiute, the Shoshone and the Washoe. The reservation lands consist of the original 28-acre Colony located in central west Reno and another 15,263 acres in Hungry Valley, which is 19 miles north of the Colony and 7 miles passed Spanish Springs High School on Eagle Canyon Drive.
