Abstract

This paper reports on my experience as the Environmental Management Director (EMD)for the Tigua Indian nation, also known as the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo (YDSP), of El Paso, Texas. In partial fulfillment of the Master of Environmental Science degree at the Institute of Environmental Sciences, I completed a 12 month internship as the EMD. My responsibilities included managing grant programs, obtaining program funding, representing YDSP at various local, regional and national events, defending YDSP’s cultural and environmental interests and managing the Environmental Management Office staff and budgets. My responsibilities included numerous environmental topics, including air, solid waste, energy, conservation, environmental health and education/outreach. I prepared a Quality Management Plan, three grant proposals, comment letters on draft Environmental Impact Statements and other environmental documents. The programs were community driven and culturally-based. The opportunity to serve as EMD provided me with invaluable experience and opportunities working for an American Indian nation.
