Who is MMG?

Hi there, we're the Mendez's.

A Paiute family of the Eastern Sierra Nevada's.

Janice

The best mom and grandma anyone could ask for. Janice enjoys giving her time to her community, friends and family. She actively pursues opportunities to engage with her tribal community through gardening, social activities and informational outreach. On top of that, Janice participates in local historical societies as well as county and state boards. And at the end of the day, she cares for her four grandchildren by taking them fishing, teaching them how to gather traditional materials for crafts and much more.

Emily

The oldest child of Janice, Emily is a mother of one. She is a home-body who enjoys crocheting and other arts and crafts, including traditional basket weaving. Camping and enjoying the peaceful outdoors of her home town Bridgeport is a favorite of Emily's. She stays busy taking care of her family and exploring with her daughter.

Jerrett

Janice's only son can almost never be found, cause he is either giving his time to the Mono Basin Historical Society or he's out fishing. Jerrett is an amazing uncle who loves hanging out with his nieces and nephew. From tending to his chickens, to gardening, to cooking on the grill; he has many interests that make him fun to be around.
