Geocache Description:

A film can. A puzzle to help you learn about your neighbors.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but in the solution to the puzzle.

The listed name is the one given to me by my people when I was born in 1844. You perhaps know me by another name. A Reno school also bears this name.

In 1860, My father, Chief Winnemucca, was killed in the Paiute wars. I tried to become a peacemaker between our peoples by becoming an interpreter for the United States Army.

To solve this puzzle, and familiarize yourself with my language, I will give you a word in my language. The first letter of the English translation of that word will be a number in the coordinates. i.e. A=1, B=2 and so on.

North
1) Tutsepakwe
2) Hooeda
3) Kween'a
4) Hooboo
5) Tonotuhabu
West

4) Padooa'a

Checksum=38

I hope you enjoy learning my language. Use a word you learned, not in the puzzle in your log. Thank you and TUNEKWUHU
