Truckee River Mural by Indigenous Artist featured at UNR

A vibrant, multi-paneled mural displaying Native American’s deep ancestral connection to the Truckee River, Pyramid Lake, and Lake Tahoe now greet students, visitors, and faculty on the UNR campus. Envisioned and created by Pyramid Lake Tribal member Autumn Harry over a couple of months and dedicated in mid-September 2024, the panels capture the spirit found in the four tribes: NUMU, WÁ-SIW, NEWE, and NUWU.

Located just north of the UNR Quad between the Pennington Student Achievement Center and the Ansari Business Building.

Autumn’s work was selected out of several mural proposals.
