On October 15, 2026, SCA hosted community outreach sessions for the WRPEDA Four Seasons Market Redevelopment Project, bringing together Tribal Council, tribal departments, community members, and emerging business leaders to share their ideas and priorities for the project.

We received great feedback and sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to participate, ask questions, and share their perspectives. Your involvement helps shape a vision that reflects our community’s needs, culture, and values.

The redevelopment aims to create a high-quality travel center and market that serves tribal members, local residents, and travelers while supporting sustainable revenue and long-term tribal economic self-sufficiency. Community input is an important part of connecting that vision with future business, and community-development opportunities.

Thank you to SCA for hosting these conversations and to everyone who contributed. Together, we are working toward a future that honors our past and creates opportunities for generations to come.

Please join us in congratulating the Walker River Paiute Economic Development Emerging Business Leaders for receiving NAFOA's Education Program of the Year Award at the 44th Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada.

We are proud to recognize the incredible work of our Emerging Business Leaders, a group created to bridge the gap between today’s leadership and the next generation. These young leaders are helping carry forward our responsibility to plan for the next seven generations.

Through their commitment and vision, they have governed themselves with purpose, establishing bylaws, creating policies to ensure continuity, and actively participating in WRPEDA Board and Tribal Council meetings. They’ve shared meaningful input on community development and economic initiatives, attended community events, and stayed engaged with the people they serve.

Their impact is already visible. They developed and hosted a financial literacy workshop, gathered community feedback through surveys, and established a strategic plan based on those needs. They secured $30,000 for cultural historical monument to uplift our heritage and values, and $25,000 for shade structures for the Walker River Paiute Tribe, projects that reflect both cultural pride and community care.

Along the way, they’ve gained valuable experience in governance, strengthened their leadership skills, and built relationships with partners, organizations, and professionals, all in service of advancing our community.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has helped shape these leaders, family members, friends, mentors, role models, tribal leadership, and the community. Your guidance and support continue to make a lasting impact.
