Message from Silver
For decades I have advocated and lobbied to improve the lives of California Indians from healthcare, tribal economics, and cultural resources. I've traveled throughout the state and across the country fighting to improve the lives of our People and am passionate to serve on their behalf.
​
For 23 years I have worked in tribal healthcare in several positions, but for the last nine years have served as Chief Operations Officer for Sonoma County Indian Health. For 20 consecutive years I had served as Vice Chairperson to the Cloverdale Rancheria and represented our People in the City, County, State and Federal levels.
​
My strength comes from our tradition and culture, I believe that reviving our traditional ways is not only going to strengthen our People but also make our ancestors proud in the process. I am an enthusiastic positive leader that loves to work for and within our Tribal Community. I am so thankful that I have been able to serve in various capacities learning so many skills and assets that I would like to share with our People.
