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.
In August 2011, ACF issued its
Consultation Policy in partnership with
tribes. This policy will help our
program offices and program office
regional presence to 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 in order to create a
good working relationship with tribes, it
starts with requesting and receiving
input from the tribes to ensure that we
are meeting their needs and to establish
a partnership that can carry us into the
future.
Testimonies may be submitted no
later than February 24, 2012, to: Lillian
Sparks, Commissioner, Administration
for Native Americans, 370 L’Enfant
Promenade SW., Washington, DC 20447.
