The White House is excited to announce that the 2021 White House Tribal Nations Summit will officially take place on November 15 and 16 2021.  This year the Summit will take place virtually.

President Biden and the Administration look forward to hosting a robust and meaningful dialogue with Tribal leaders on key issues, policy initiatives, and goals for Indian Country. This year they have changed the name from a conference to a summit to reflect the federal government’s Nation-to-Nation relationship with Tribal Nations. The Biden-Harris Administration is deeply committed to honoring their trust and treaty responsibilities to federally recognized Tribal Nations and the Summit provides an opportunity for Tribal leaders to engage directly with officials from the highest levels of the Administration.

If you have any questions, please reach out to TNS@who.eop.gov.

The policy panels will include the following sessions:

• Combating COVID-19
• Native American Education and Native Languages
• Public Safety and Justice
• Climate Change Impacts and Solutions
• Tribal Treaty Rights and Sacred Lands
• Economic and Workforce Development
• Infrastructure, Housing and Energy
• Listening Session with Federal Officials
