Beautiful original oil painting signed by William A. Moore as a gift to Mary & Moe commemorating the expansion of their "Wigwam Restaurant in Fernley Nevada". Pelicans "Going Home" is from Winnemucca Lake to Pyramid Lake. The shores of the once-productive lake were home to tribes that produced the earliest documented petroglyphs (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/08/130815-Lake Winnemucca petroglyphs-ancient-rock-art-Nevada/) in the Americas (Benson et al. 2013). It is likely that the extent of Lake Winnemucca varied with fluctuations in climate, forcing tribes to periodically move to more permanent sites such as Pyramid Lake. Their modern-day descendants, the Paiutes, enjoyed the region until encounters with the U.S. cavalry and white settlers became increasingly unpleasant and eventually violent. Part of this sad history was documented by Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of Chief Winnemucca and granddaughter of Chief Truckee (Hopkins 1883). (By Joseph Eilers and Sandra Walker.) This painting will take a large room. It is 16 feet in length and 30" tall. It has light wood frame. An original work of art. Moe & Mary Royels Wigwam Collection
