Community Outreach Department

The Community Outreach Department of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of the Owens Valley is dedicated to promoting cultural preservation, community wellness, and intergenerational learning.

Through a variety of programs, events, and partnerships, we work to strengthen community ties, celebrate Nüümü traditions, and support the overall well-being of our Tribal members.

We are committed to creating welcoming spaces where Tribal members of all ages can learn, grow, and connect with each other and with our heritage.
