Tribal Consultation
Federal Agency Tribal Consultation Resources
President Obama is committed to strengthening the nation-to-nation relationship with tribes. That’s why he charged his Administration to engage in regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials in the development of Federal policies that have tribal implications. In response, federal agencies developed comprehensive plans for consultation and coordination with tribal nations. As the President said at the 2009 White House Tribal Nations Conference, “[w]ithout real communication and consultation, we're stuck year after year with policies that don't work on issues specific to [Native Americans] and on broader issues that affect all of us.”
The President also established the White House Council on Native American Affairs to ensure that the Federal Government engages in a true and lasting government-to-government relationship with federally recognized tribes in a more coordinated and effective manner.
