Celebrating a successful internship! 🎉 Over the Summer, we had the pleasure of hosting Gibran Silva as an intern across several of our departments. From Growth Fund Finance & Accounting to Red Willow Revenue Accounting, Gibran brought curiosity, professionalism, and a strong work ethic to every team she joined. Gibran also connected with teams across GF Private Equity, Kava, Red Cedar, and HR—making the most of every opportunity to learn and grow. She also spent time with the Permanent Fund Finance department, working alongside the General Ledger Team. We’re proud to have been part of her journey as she works toward her CPA and a future in public accounting. Thank you, Gibran, for your contributions and energy. We can’t wait to see where your path leads next! 🌟 #SouthernUteGrowthFund #SouthernUteIndianTribe #InternshipSuccess #TribalFuture

Exciting progress indeed, on the Buckskin Charlie housing project—well done to all the teams driving this forward! 👏🏼 Your hard work will make a meaningful impact for local residents, and it’s inspiring to see our vision taking shape. #southernuteindiantribe #southernutegrowthfund
We just completed the set of Building B on our modular project, Buckskin Charlie — and it’s a moment worth celebrating. Modular construction continues to show its value: speed, precision, and coordination all coming together to make projects like this possible. Setting Building B was a team effort across the board — from design to logistics to field execution — and it wouldn’t have happened without a lot of dedication behind the scenes. Grateful to be part of a team that keeps raising the bar. Huge shout out to everyone involved including GUERDON, LLC, FCI Constructors, Inc., ProSet Modular, and RoadMasters a division of Bennett Truck Transport, LLC.

Their historic debut with Twin Dragon at Kingpins Amsterdam introduced the first-ever #MadeInTheAmericas hemp denim collection, crafted from mechanically cottonized, 100% American-grown hemp fiber — no chemical degumming, no greenwashing. Just pure innovation. 👏🏼 Huge kudos to the Panda Biotech team for setting a new standard in the industry. 🔖 Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/dqz_RAm9 #Innovation #partnerships #globalmarkets #SouthernUteIndianTribe #SouthernUteGrowthFund

A massive thank you to Mr. Scott Davis, Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, US Department of the Interior, and his entire team for the recent meeting with Tribal Council and Growth Fund leadership. Energy development can often be a catalyst for economic growth in Tribal Communities, providing the resources needed for greater autonomy and self-determination of Tribal resources. We look forward to continued collaboration and progress in these vital areas. Again, thank you for speaking at #NAMES and supporting Tribal Energy Sovereignty. #SouthernUteIndianTribe #SouthernUteGrowthFund #TribalSovereignty #Growth
