Environmental Protection Program

Our Mission is to protect, monitor, restore, and regulate the Tribe’s natural resources, honoring and protecting all life, land, culture, traditions, and tribal sovereignty. The Environmental Protection Program promotes environmental awareness, provides education and outreach activities, fosters collaborative relationships, and remains committed to the continued growth and enhancement of the program.

Purpose of the Environmental Program

The Environmental Program is dedicated to fostering awareness and understanding of environmental protection and stewardship across the community. Key areas of focus include solid waste management, pollution prevention, air and water quality, indoor air quality, conservation initiatives, and safe disposal of household hazardous waste. The program hosts Environmental Awareness Events to educate and engage the community on natural resource conservation, environmental preservation, and water quality protection. Ongoing initiatives include monitoring surface water quality in the Tribe’s two ponds, managing and analyzing geographical data, and developing strategies to address local environmental challenges.
