We are delighted to share that, in conjunction with Echo Hawk & Olsen, the Kanosh Band of Paiutes, a resilient and forward-thinking community located in Millard County, Utah, has been awarded a $742,720 grant from the Department of Interior’s Energy and Mineral Development Program. This funding will be used to support geophysical pre-development studies aimed at evaluating the commercial viability of geothermal energy development on the Kanosh Reservation, located in Millard County, Utah.

Echo Hawk & Olsen assisted the Shivwits Band of Paiutes, a federally recognized Tribe located in southwest Utah, with its successful application for a $713,554 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Zoonotic Diseases Initiative grant. Authorized under the American Rescue Plan, funding for the grant will enable the Tribe to implement a three-year, multi-faceted collaborative project to mitigate the hazard posed by zoonotic diseases on the Shivwits Reservation and surrounding areas.
