Former âsundown townâ stands by siren amid reckoning
The town siren has blared since 1921. Elders remember seeing law enforcement jailing Native Americans and residents attacking non-white people

The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California associates the siren with a historic sundown ordinance that once made it illegal for them to be in Minden and neighboring Gardnerville after nightfall. Residents of the mostly white town defend it as a tradition that marks time and honors first responders. After state lawmakers banned the siren, the Washoe Tribe s chairman and Minden town manager agreed to move the siren to 5 p.m. but the compromise left many tribal members unsatisfied and awaits discussion at the tribal council.
