The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah is moving to a new website domain and will subsequently have a fresh, updated look! The new website will become active later today and can be found at pitu.gov. The old website (utahpaiutes.org) will be redirected to the new location. We are excited for this change. Be sure to check the website for upcoming events and announcements.

The Grand Opening of the PITU Youth & Senior Center and PITU Play Park was held earlier this morning. We had a great turnout of Tribal members, staff, and community partners. We want to thank all who helped bring this dream to life. We look forward to the memories that will be created in these sacred spaces.

Now more than ever before, our community is looking to leaders who can advance progress and promote unity during this time of recovery and healing. Iron Leaders Academy, presented by Southern Utah University, provides opportunities for personal and professional growth among emerging and established leaders in Iron County through a high-impact, 11-month training schedule. Shane was nominated to participate in the Iron Leaders Academy and was part of its founding cohort. Participants gained the foundational knowledge and experiences to contribute to positive change in the community. Culmination of the experience results in a graduation ceremony and award of an SUU Institutional Certificate in Civic Engagement & Leadership. Institutional Certificate credits may matriculate into SUU master’s degree programs for those interested. Join us in congratulating Shane Parashonts on his graduation of this program. We are thankful for his hard work and commitment to progressive change.

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion in partnership with the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah are excited to invite our tribal students (enrolled or descendants) to this summer college prep camp! Preference given to Juniors and Seniors. Limited spaces available, so don't delay! Call Xavier Garcia at (435) 586-1112 for questions.
