Tales from Tahoe
April 11, 2007
In this interactive slideshow, Lynda Shoshone - Washoe Tribe member, Kent Kreitler - professional skier, Sue Martineau - firefighter, Mike Weber - South Lake Tahoe City Council member, Omar Reyes - Kings Beach resident, and Ruben Sanchez - outdoor retailer, identify what Lake Tahoe means to them in terms of its uniqueness, conservation/naturalness, beauty, human use, and ownership/stewardship.
This is an experiment in non-linear narrative storytelling. You may choose to listen to one person at a time, as they express their values, like a traditional documentary. Or, by using the matrix at the upper right, you may listen “across” environmental values and compare what people think about uniqueness or beauty, for example.
