Voices of Basket Weavers in the Great Basin

Nevada Toneega’a (Flowers) is a photographic field guide to the wildflowers of Hungry Valley and Pyramid Lake in Northern Nevada, by artist and independent curator Melissa Melero-Moose. Spanning a decade of seasonal observations, the guide highlights the richness of high desert plant life. Informed by Indigenous Knowledge, it includes Northern Paiute plant names to support cultural and language preservation. While focused on visual identification, it also reflects the deep ecological and cultural connections rooted in the Great Basin. This accessible guide invites plant enthusiasts, educators, and students to explore the often-overlooked beauty of Northern Nevada’s native landscape.

Available for purchase at the Nevada Museum of Art, or online
