Maturango Sunday Speakers presents: Sean Scruggs, THPO

May 19 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Maturango Sunday Speakers presents:

Sean Scruggs
Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Fort Independence Indian Reservation

As THPO, Sean advocates the protection and care of ancestral homelands in Payahuunadü through Government-to-Government discussions, sharing cultural perspectives through education, and relationship building. He believes it’s critical that Tribes and individual “Original People” understand, know, tell, and share their own stories and history as they deem appropriate, not only to correct history but to be seen, heard, and understood in their communities and around the world.

Sean Scruggs is Northern Paiute, Chuk-ke-shuv-ve-wḗ-tah or Oak Creek People, and lived on the Fort Independence Indian Reservation from age 6 to 16. An Air Force veteran with service in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Nevada Tonopah Test Range, he retired as Captain in 2009, and reconnected with his culture in 2014. He holds a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management and has served as THPO at Ft. Independence since 2018.
