The San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe is at a pivotal moment as we embark on an essential journey toward economic advancement. This October, we invite all Tribal members to engage in upcoming Economic Development Planning Sessions, taking place on October 17-18, 2024. Our goal? To develop a comprehensive strategy that not only fosters economic growth but also addresses the lasting impacts of the Bennett Freeze on our community.
Understanding the Bennett Freeze
For many years, the Bennett Freeze significantly affected the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, hindering economic development and access to resources. This chapter of our history has presented challenges, but it has also imparted valuable lessons. By openly discussing its repercussions during our planning sessions, we aim to confront this chapter with honesty and collaboration, ensuring that we pave the way for a brighter future.
Our Vision for Economic Advancement
The heart of these planning sessions lies in our commitment to building a resilient economy for the Tribe. We envision a multifaceted strategy that:
Empowers Tribal Members: By engaging our community, we will harness the unique skills and cultural heritage of our members to drive economic initiatives tailored to our needs.
Explores Sustainable Practices: As stewards of the land, we strive to incorporate sustainable practices in our economic ventures, ensuring long-term prosperity and environmental responsibility.
Navigates New Opportunities: We will explore partnerships and collaborative projects that can enhance our economic landscape, fostering growth and stability.
