Alexis Sanders-Alto was raised by her mother, Mary Alto and her aunt, Susan Alto. Although her family resided in Hemet, CA for most of her youth, Alexis spent a lot of time traveling to and from the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation. Having both of her parents serve on the Tribal Council and various boards and committees for much of Alexis’ adolescence instilled a very strong sense of obligation and responsibility in her to her people.
Inspired by her family members before her, Alexis has made every effort to be a contributing member of her tribe. She is currently serving her third term on Tribal Council, and her first term as Tribal Treasurer, sits on several other boards and committees for the tribe and outside organizations, volunteers her time for Santa Rosa Youth Sports and Community Events, and is proud to be employed by Santa Rosa as the Tribal Bookkeeper. Alexis is enormously grateful for the opportunity she has to make and be part of positive change for the Tribe. She feels that it is her duty to take an active role in ensuring the future of the tribe.
