The $20,000 display was created by the Nevada Indian Commission.<br /><br />The purpose of the exhibit, called Nevada's Indian Territory, is to educate the 3.8 million tourists and other travelers that pass through the airport annually of the history and culture of the state's American Indians.<br /><br />“This project will showcase and raise awareness of Nevada’s indigenous people,” Gov. Sandoval said.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.com
