Spokane Tribe of Indians

Carol Evans is the Chairwoman of the Spokane Tribal Business Council and is the first woman to serve as Tribal Chair. Prior to being elected to the Spokane Tribal Council in 2013, she worked twenty-eight years as the Chief Financial Officer for The Spokane Tribe of Indians. Carol graduated from Eastern Washington University with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Business Administration and retains a CPA Inactive Certificate from the State of Washington.

On June 12, 2013, Carol took oath of office for the Spokane Tribal Business Council. She is the second woman to be elected for a Tribal Council position and her mother, Pauline Stearns, was the first Tribal Council woman of her Tribe. Carol resides on the Spokane Indian Reservation along the banks of the Spokane River with her husband, Terry Evans of forty-four years.

Carol truly believes that our spiritual tradition shows us the way to live in harmony and balance that includes a deep conviction to respect of all things.  One must respect self, our earth and each other. Each and every matter of creation has a purpose and one purpose is as important as another. Shay u hoy (that is all).
