Yes, people do live in Death Valley.
Death Valley is the ancestral home of the Timbisha Shoshone people. Some members of the tribe still reside within Death Valley National Park, with their village located in Furnace Creek. This continuous presence demonstrates a long-standing connection between the Timbisha Shoshone and the land, even amidst the challenging environment. While the population is small, the Timbisha Shoshone's existence there highlights the human capacity to adapt and thrive in even the most extreme conditions.
