Overview

Our long-term mission, to have career employees in Operations.  Operations is a good beginning for some, and permanent, long-term employment for others.

Every day we learn more, and will continue to grow to develop our skills. We have the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. The only thing we lacked was opportunity.  The growth and development of the Nisqually Tribe has provided the opportunities.

Building Maintenance and Landscaping

Maintenance  includes a supervisor, lead staff and maintenance staff, several of which are housecleaners to ensure sanitation and safety.
