Lyon County, Nevada in the context of Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Reservation (Northern Paiute: kuyuuiba) is an Indian Reservation in northwestern Nevada, approximately 35 miles (56Â km) northeast of Reno, in Washoe, Storey, and Lyon counties.
It is governed by the federally recognized Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, which represents two Northern Paiute bands, the larger Kuyuidökadö (Cui Yui Ticutta) ("Cui-ui-Fish-Eaters") and the smaller Tasiget tuviwarai ("Those who live amidst the mountains"). The reservation lies almost entirely in Washoe County (99.88%), with small amounts of land in the other two counties (at the southern end, near the city of Fernley).
