Carrie and Mary Dann led a persistent fight against U.S. control of Western Shoshone lands, grounded in the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. Their legal challenges, resistance to grazing fees, and environmental activism marked them as pivotal figures in indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice. The Dann sisters’ enduring legacy is preserved in the University of Nevada’s archives, embodying resilience and dedication to their heritage. Carrie passed away in 2021, leaving a profound mark on indigenous activism history.
