ELY Shoshone Tribe

The Ely Shoshone Tribe, registered in SAM.gov since 2003 and doing business as Silver Sage Travel Center, is a federally recognized Native American tribe located in Ely, Nevada. As a tribal government, the entity has been actively engaged in receiving federal grant awards across multiple sectors, focusing on community development, environmental management, health services, and infrastructure improvement. The tribe's grants demonstrate a comprehensive approach to addressing critical needs within their reservation, leveraging federal funding to support various strategic initiatives that directly benefit tribal members and their local community.

Through federal grant awards, the Ely Shoshone Tribe has pursued diverse projects spanning environmental protection, broadband infrastructure, healthcare, child care, library services, and community development. Notable grant programs include the EPA's Indian Environmental General Assistance Program, which has funded environmental capacity building and solid waste management initiatives, and the Special Diabetes Program for Indians, supporting health prevention and management. The tribe has received project, formula, and block grants from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, Office of Child Care, Public and Indian Housing Office, and Institute of Museum and Library Services. Recent significant projects include a broadband infrastructure deployment connecting 118 unserved Native American households, library service expansions, diabetes prevention programs, and cybersecurity improvements through a sub-grant to migrate to a .gov domain. The grants consistently aim to enhance community infrastructure, health outcomes, technological access, and overall quality of life for tribal members.
