Tribal consultation and water

An Indigenous archaeology PhD candidate asked the commission to oppose data centers on Paiute homelands, prioritize the watershed, and seek prior informed consent from sovereign tribal nations.

A Yerington Paiute tribal council member said a letter or email is not consultation, tribal consultation policies must be followed, and asked for removal of 7.a until meaningful consultation occurs.

A Pyramid Lake Paiute citizen said tribal consultation must be front and center, more due diligence is needed, and the project would devastate water quantity and quality in the Carson watershed.
