In their native language Tenabo, which is pronounced as (dee-na-bo), means writing on the mountain. This mountain is the home to local Shoshone creation stories, spirit life, medicinal, food and ceremonial plants and items and continues to be used to this day by Shoshone for spiritual and cultural practices. Thank you for your interest in what we Native Americans be,"said a Western Shoshone grandmother. Photos Western Shoshone Defense Project.
