Working Here
Small team. Real responsibility.
Employees of the Potter Valley Tribe serve a federally recognized sovereign nation — supporting tribal government, land and water stewardship, youth programs, and tribal enterprises like Gram’s Coffee House.
Work that reaches households
We are a small nation. What you do here shows up in the community by the end of the week — not the end of the quarter.
Land, water, and culture
From the Pomo Community Forest to the Eel River watershed, tribal staff support projects that return ancestral land to tribal hands.
You’ll get a person, not a portal
