Former Nevada expert on Indians dead at 100
Wednesday, March 22, 2000 | 12:01 p.m.
Liljeblad, who died March 17, came to the United States in 1940 to trace the Uto-Aztecan language group known as the Shoshonean, which includes the Utes, Paiutes, Shoshones, Bannocks, Commanches, Panamints and the virtually extinct tribe called the Kawaiisu in east-central California.
Much of his work through the early 1970s was done at Idaho State University and then into the 1990s at the University of Nevada Reno.
In the summer of 1992, Liljeblad was named an honorary member of the Shoshone-Piaute Tribes in Duck Valley, Nev.
He is survived by his wife, Astrid Von Heijne of Solna, Sweden.
