Trina Cunningham

Maidu Summit Consortium, Executive Director

Trina Cunningham is the Executive Director of the Maidu Summit Consortium based in her ancestral Mountain Maidu homelands primarily in Plumas and Lassen Counties, Northern California. Plumas County is known for its water supply to much of California. Trina has spent 25 years learning from elders, formal education in Geography and Planning, and practical experience of the optimal human relationship and responsibility to water. In a less than optimal world, time is of the essence to rebuild human relationship to nature and each other through leveraging will, skill sets, and resources affecting policy to ensure healthy lands, water, and fire balances.
