Diving, tennis, soccer -- those are some of the sports that will be played in Rio de Janeiro as the Olympics kick off this weekend. Events you won't see? Baloyap, Sugayuk or Hinoyowgi. That's because these are games of the Washoe people, a group native to the mountains and valleys around Lake Tahoe. These games are a lot of fun, and they're critical to the survival of Washoe culture and language. And they're also essential for emotional health.
