Meet the 2024 NCAIED 40 under 40
Bishop Paiute Chairwoman Meryl Picard is still in her second year in office and confronting the pressures of pit mining on traditional Paiute land.

Chairman Andrew Alejandre of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians was a voice for California’s new Feather Alert MMIP notification system. They are among the 40 accomplished Native Americans being celebrated this week by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED).

Join Native America Calling at NCAIED’s annual Reservation Economic Summit (RES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, to hear what’s on the minds of some of this year’s class.
