SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 5, 2009, President Obama
signed the ‘‘Memorandum for the Heads
of Executive Departments and Agencies
on Tribal Consultation.’’ The President
stated that his Administration is
committed to regular and meaningful
consultation and collaboration with
tribal officials in policy decisions that
have tribal implications, including, as
an initial step, through complete and
consistent implementation of Executive
Order 13175.
The United States has a unique legal
and political relationship with Indian
tribal governments, established through
and confirmed by the Constitution of
the United States, treaties, statutes,
executive orders, and judicial decisions.
In recognition of that special
relationship, pursuant to Executive
Order 13175 of November 6, 2000,
executive departments and agencies are
charged with engaging in regular and
meaningful consultation and
collaboration with tribal officials in the
development of Federal policies that
have tribal implications, and are
responsible for strengthening the
government-to-government relationship
between the United States and Indian
tribes.
HHS has taken its responsibility to
comply with Executive Order 13175
very seriously over the past decade;
including the initial implementation of
a Department-wide policy on tribal
consultation and coordination in 1997,
and through multiple evaluations and
revisions of that policy, most recently in
2008. Many HHS agencies have already
developed their own agency-specific
consultation policies that complement
the Department-wide efforts.
Since 2005, ACF has been working
under the guidance of the HHS policy
issued in 2005 and updated in 2008.
Due to the various programs
administered by ACF and the many
requests from tribes for consultation for
specific programs, as well as specific
program mandates for tribal
consultation, ACF has decided to create
an ACF tribal consultation policy to
help ACF program and regional offices
better engage Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes in the development or
revision of policies, regulations and

proposed legislation that impact
American Indians. ACF firmly believes
that to create a good policy, ACF needs
input from tribes to ensure that ACF is
meeting tribal needs and to establish a
partnership that can carry into the
future.
Testimonies may be submitted no
later than September 21, 2010, to:
Lillian Sparks, Commissioner,
Administration for Native Americans,
370 L’Enfant Promenade, SW.,
Washington, DC 20447,
anacommissioner@acf.hhs.gov.
ACF assembled a Tribal/Federal
Workgroup to develop a draft policy and
is asking Tribal Leaders to read the draft
policy that will be sent to them in a
letter prior to the scheduled
consultation date. At the consultation
session planned for September 29, 2010,
ACF is interested in receiving tribal
feedback on the policy and in working
with tribal representatives to further
refine a policy that meets both ACF and
tribal needs, and works towards
solidifying the partnership between
ACF and tribes.
In addition to the tribal consultation
session, ACF will be hosting a tribal
resources day to provide information
about ACF programs, funding
opportunities and tools on how to use
ACF funding to create comprehensive
community programs. The resources
day will take place on September 28,
2010, at the same above address. ACF is
encouraging tribes to send their tribal
planning officers or comparable
employee to attend the tribal resources
day.
