Tribal Engagement

WRP Committees work to better improve regional and interagency cooperation among Federal agencies, Tribal leadership, States, and non-governmental organizations on critical Western regional issues. They provide a forum for information exchange, issue identification, problem solving and recommendations across the WRP region. Committees are continually reviewed to maintain a resilient and dynamic organization.

Tribal Engagement Committee Activities

  • Facilitate information-sharing among tribal members and state and federal agencies in the WRP Region and help ensure tribes receive timely updates on important issues.
  • Seek tribal input on WRP efforts.
  • Encourage technical staff from multiple agencies to find innovative, cross-program solutions to identified tribal issues.
  • Honor the government-to-government relationship unique to tribal sovereign nations and foster a collaborative atmosphere on addressing tribal issues, while recognizing that no tribal entity speaks for another and that WRP does not supplant or usurp federal agencies’ responsibilities to consult with tribes.
