Tribal Chairman Robert Martin, a nationally recognized and respected leader in Indian Country who guided the Morongo Band of Mission Indians near Palm Springs for three decades, will retire from tribal government effective July 1.
âI have thoroughly enjoyed my journey as I worked with our Tribal Council, our membership and leaders in all branches of governments to advance self-reliance and tribal sovereignty,â said Robert Martin, who decided not to seek reelection in June after six consecutive terms as chairman.
âIâm proud of the great progress our tribe and our Tribal Council have made together during my tenure as we created new economic and educational opportunities for our members, our region, and all of Indian Country,â Robert Martin said. âI am confident that the next generation of tribal leaders will continue the important work of advancing tribal sovereignty.â
