Chairman Joe Davis attended the Cal Poly Humboldt Tribal Nations Summit on March 13, 2026, joining Tribal leaders, educators, and community partners for an important gathering focused on strengthening relationships between Tribal Nations and higher education.

Chairman Davis was joined by Education Director Onaleece Colegrove and Executive Director Juliet Maestas, who also participated in the summit and discussions.

The event welcomed new Cal Poly Humboldt President Richard A. Carvajal and provided an opportunity for Tribal leaders and representatives to connect with university leadership, discuss priorities, and continue building partnerships that support Tribal sovereignty, education, economic development, and community wellness.

Gatherings like the Tribal Nations Summit help strengthen collaboration between Tribal governments and educational institutions while creating opportunities that benefit Tribal students, families, and communities.

We appreciate the continued partnership and dialogue that support the success and future of Tribal Nations
