About Lynn:
Chief Mutáwi Mutáhash (Many Hearts) Marilynn "Lynn" Malerba is the 18th Chief of the Mohegan Tribe and first Native American to serve as Treasurer of the United States. She became the 18th Chief of the Mohegan Tribe on August 15, 2010 and is the first female Chief in the Tribe's modern history. The position is a lifetime appointment made by the Tribe's Council of Elders. Prior to becoming Chief, she served as Chairwoman of the Tribal Council, and served in Tribal Government as Executive Director of Health and Human Services. Preceding her work for the Mohegan Tribe, Malerba had a career as a registered nurse, ultimately as the Director of Cardiology and Pulmonary Services at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.
