Location: Southern Carson City
Directions: At the Stewart Cemetery, corner of Bigelow Drive and Snyder Ave (SR 518)
N39° 07' 04.5" W119° 45' 17.1"
NOTES: Oh yes, #77 is a tricky one to find! In fact, do not be surprised if you happen across this one when conquering #91! Although this marker sits off of Snyder Ave, the average person will probably miss it from the road. Look for a flagpole (usually with both flags) just off of a side road (Bigelow Drive) directly in front of the Stewart Indian School. Cross a short dirt track to access the Stewart Cemetery. You can thank me later.
 Good luck spotting this one from Snyder. That's all I can tell you.

Quick Description: A marker honoring the life and influence of one of Nevada's greatest figures.
Signed: Yes -- Even the sign is incredibly hard to spot! The sign for #77 is on the eastbound lane of Snyder Ave and comes on as nothing less than confusing. If you weren't paying attention, you could easily mistake #91 Stewart Indian School for #77!
Full Description:
Exact description as reads ...
"Myriads of stars shine over the graves of our ancestors." Dat-So-La-Lee had seen some 96 winters, mostly in the Carson Valley, when death came in 1925.
She was the last of those Washo weavers whose ancient art had been practiced by countless generations.
Gathering willow, fern and birch with the aid of her husband, she wove into her masterpieces the legends of her people and their love of nature. Her baskets are unsurpassed for artistic conception and symbolic importance.
She is buried in the adjoining cemetery, yet her memories and her visions are so woven into her baskets that she will live on to remind us of the history and unique tribal artistry of her people.
 The lonely Stewart Cemetery, still very active in Nevada!
