An Evening with Angie Bulletts, Kaibab Paiute

An Evening with Angie Bulletts, Kaibab Paiute

Thursday, April 27, at 7 PM at the Canyon Community Center in Springdale.

My Connection and Love for Traditional Landscapes: As District Manager for the BLM’s Southern Nevada District, Angie has earned the rare and compelling opportunity to oversee three million acres of her ancestral lands. Her passion for protecting and conserving these forests, deserts, and canyons led her to a lifelong career in land management.  Angie will talk about her spiritual relationship with these lands and the challenges and rewards of overseeing them for the BLM.

Over the decades, Angie worked her way up through federal land management systems, often in her traditional territories, such as the Arizona Strip and Dixie National Forest, but also in Colorado, New Mexico, and Phoenix. She began her career in the Kaibab National Forest, lands specific to her Kaibab Tribe.

Angie graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1982 with a degree in Anthropology and an emphasis in Sociology and Natural Resources Management, then attended Grand Canyon University for a second degree in Business Administration.  She then served as the Kaibab Paiute Tribal Administrator for six years, leading the administration and business enterprises of the tribal government and often acting as Tribal Council spokesman.

“I grew up on the Dixie and the Kaibab National Forests, so for me, yes, this is home. What’s most important for me is that I’m able to be instrumental in managing natural resources. It’s an added benefit to carry my traditional knowledge hand-in-hand … “

She and her husband Carlos have two adult daughters, Leslie Sylver, and India Jade. She has one grandson, Easton Hosteenez, who is Navajo and Paiute. She enjoys teaching tribal children about their heritage and their attachment to traditional lands. Traditional landscapes and those spiritual connections bring joy to her life. She spends what little free time she has doing beadwork and cradleboard making.

Angie’s presentation is part of Zion Canyon Mesa’s “Community Conversation” series in partnership with Zion Forever.
