![]() At this year’s board meeting in Chandler, Arizona I was voted in (via of a coin flip) as the President. I’ve served as a Southwest Regional Director for 6 years and have also served as an officer (Secretary/Treasurer) for a couple of years. Our Tribe has been a member of the Society since the early days. I’ve worked for my tribe on and off since 1981. I work for my tribe in our Water Resources Department which oversees water rights, irrigation, geothermal, water quality, non-point source, range management, conservation, grant writing, college interns, agriculture development, climate change and resource management. I am lucky that my two brothers and sister also live here in our reservation town of Schurz a total of 750 people live here. Our reservation consists of 325,000 acres and consists of high desert lands, is dissected by the Walker River which travels down to a desert terminal lake called Walker Lake and the Wassuk Mountain Range borders our western boundary. We’re located 100 miles southeast of Reno, on your way to Las Vegas. I’m a member of the Walker River Paiute Tribe of Nevada. For starters, I’d like to introduce myself to those of you that don’t know me. Society Members: I hope this message gets to you wherever you’re at in this great world of ours. Elveda Martinez, Southwest Region Board Director ![]()
