Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Honored in Proclamation

Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Honored in Proclamation
Members of the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe were recognized by the City of Fallon this week to honor National American Heritage Month.

Author: Rachel Dahl

Mayor Ken Tedford recognized the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe on Wednesday in a ceremony at City Hall, to celebrate National Native American Heritage Month.  

The proclamation recognizes the Fallon Tribe as part of the indigenous groups that have occupied Nevada for 10,000 years. The Fallon Tribe promotes and strives to revitalize the traditional ways of life by providing education in tribal history, languages, the land, and by upholding the cultural values, goals, and tradition of the tribal members. Mayor Tedford said the city recognizes the Fallon community is strengthened by the resiliency of the Native American community and joins with the rest of the State of Nevada to honor Native American Heritage Month.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
