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 2010. ACF
has developed its own agency-specific
consultation policy that complements
the Department-wide efforts.
The ACF Tribal Consultation Session
will begin the morning of June 15, 2016,
at the Residence Inn Marriot, Capitol
Hill, 333 E Street SW., Washington, DC.
ACF is soliciting input and dialogue
on the following priority areas that will
institutionalize ACF’s impact on Native
American Communities:
• Native Youth and Children Agenda
• Complex Trauma
• Principles for Working with Tribal
Governments
The Native Youth and Children
Agenda is a document reflecting a
structure for innovative policymaking to
guide stronger and more effective
programming that can provide Native
American parents, Native American
caregivers, Native American leadership,
and Native American children and
youth with the tools they need to thrive.
ACF’s Native American Youth and
Children Policy Agenda will stand as
the policy standard for fostering
connections of Native American
children and youth to the relationships
they have with their cultures, languages,
extended families, and Native
communities that foster resiliency and
positive outcomes.
ACF’s Commissioner of the
Administration for Native Americans, in
her role as the Chair of the IntraDepartmental Council on Native
American Affairs, has been leading
efforts with the Department’s Office of
Intergovernmental and External Affairs
to coordinate a Department-wide
workgroup of staff from across the
Department’s Operating and Staff
Divisions to develop a strengths-based
framework for the Department’s work to
address trauma, including historical
trauma, in Native American
communities. This work is in response
to a Congressional request for an
integrated and comprehensive
Department-wide policy addressing
complex trauma affecting Native
American children and communities.
ACF’s Administration for Native
Americans and Administration for
Children, Youth, and Families have
worked together to draft ‘‘Principles for
Working with Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes’’ designed to extend and

sovereignty.
