Nevada), formed a partnership to support renewable

Indigenous members have been employed as monitors
for biological and cultural resources and are eligible for
training programs through the local labor union in
coordination with the Tribe's employment office.
The EDFR development team is working closely with key
tribe members, to ensure siting is sensitive to both
cultural practices and cultural artifacts, and ensure
minimum impacts on plants, medicines and wildlife.
