Short Description of Activity
The High Desert Museum gives a series of presentations with indigenous presenters regarding tribal issues.
Reflection/Evaluation
Great presentation. I personally know the presenter from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. He shared some issues that locally have happened with tribes not being part of the conversation when it come to water rights on ceded lands. We have an ongoing issue with a destination resort which doesn’t have water and trying to convince the county that they do without involving the tribes.
