Bishop Paiute Tribe Earth Day Events

Earth Day is a solid tradition at EMO. Every year, EMO and the Owens Valley Paiute-Shoshone Cultural Center partner up to host a (mostly) outdoor event and gathering, and a community trash clean-up event. Participants in the clean-up target areas on the reservation in groups, families, or solo, contributing to a waste stream sorting effort with EMO staff, and receive breakfast for their efforts.

The event often includes kids activities such as crafts and games, FirstBloom activities, live music, demos and expos, crafts, food, informational booths, and a raffle.

Past participants have included: Tribal Council and Miss Bishop Paiute, BPT Public Works, Community Development Department, KBPT Radio, the Harry Andreas Band, Fort Independence Environmental Office, Toiyabe Indian Health Project, Inyo County, Wildcare Eastern Sierra, Bishop Climbing Rangers and Bureau of Land Management, High Point Solar, Sierra Solar, SCE, GRID Alternatives, the Office of Indian Energy, Eastern Sierra Conservatin Corps, Leave No Trace Center, and many vendors offering traditional and artisinal food and crafts.
