WELCOME to the web site of the Summit Lake Paiute Tribe (SLPT) which focuses on the environmental protection efforts of the Tribe at its reserved lands (the Summit Lake Indian Reservation). This is a redesigned web site addressing the input and suggestions of tribal members and others. If you would like to give input and suggestions for further changes contact the Environmental Coordinator (see Contact Us section).
   
The Natural Resource Department is quite active with a wide array of programs funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the General Assistance Program (GAP), and Section 106 and Section 319 programs. The Department was established to assert the Tribe’s sovereignty in protecting the environment, natural resources, and public health of the Summit Lake Indian Reservation and the Tribe’s traditional territory where tribal members still retain rights to hunt, fish, gather traditional foods and medicine, and conduct spiritual and religious practices.
