Timbisha Shoshone Tribe Details
The [Timbisha Shoshone Tribe](http://timbisha.com/) are the native people of Death Valley. Although Western Shoshone and Paiute people once occupied several villages scattered throughout the region, today only the village of Timbisha at Furnace Creek remains within what are now park boundaries. In January, 2000 the Timbisha Shoshone Homeland Act was implemented, officially providing land in trust to the Tribe on which it can live permanently and govern its affairs. Today's partnership between the tribe and the National Park Service means that resources within the park and the tribe's traditional homeland are protected and enhanced by cooperative activities. Park visitors are welcome to drive down the short access road to the Timbisha Shoshone village and stop in at tribal headquarters, where local residents sell shaved ice, fry bread, and other refreshments.
