	The Timbisha Shoshone Tribal Homeland Report
		By recommending the continued settlement of the Timbisha Shoshone at Furnace Creek, the plan recognizes that the continued presence of the Tribe will enhance the management and interpretation of park resources by providing opportunities to learn from the Tribe's traditional knowledge of the geography and ecology of the Mojave Desert.
		A Timbisha Shoshone Cultural and Natural Preservation Area would be created within the park to recognize the importance of the area to the Tribe and to enable tribal members to continue to use the area for traditional practices and activities pursuant to a joint management plan.
		The Timbisha Shoshone people have resided in the Furnace Creek areas prior to the establishment of Death Valley Monument in 1933 and their continued settlement was permitted, and at times encouraged by the U.S. Government, after establishment of the park unit.

		The Timbisha Shoshone tribal council issued a strongly worded response to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians last week: Stay out of it.
		The testimony also attacked the Timbisha Shoshone choice of Hesperia as being motivated by a profit motive, rather than history: “A new pattern is non-Indian casino developers matching tribes with economically depressed, non-Indian communities in efforts to pull together a casino deal.
