Board of Directors member

Diane Pebeahsy, a half Comanche (Numu) and half Yakama (enrolled) woman, serves as the Executive Director of Peacekeeper Society. After losing her eldest son to suicide, Diane sought healing by volunteering with PKS during the COVID-19 pandemic, when distributions first began by providing diapers and baby products to families in need. Her service grew into leadership as she worked to repair trust, stabilize operations, and expand PKS programs with new ideas that meet changing community needs. Diane brings decades of experience across Tribal, Federal, and State programs, including work in youth activities, suicide prevention, social work, and as an Associate Judge for the Yakama Nation Justice Office. A proud mother, she celebrates her daughter, a well-known LGBTQ artist; her son, who is passionate about flute and music; and her youngest daughter, who is striving toward Harvard. Diane’s leadership is defined by resilience, cultural pride, and her commitment to serving Indigenous people and intertribal communities with strength and compassion.
