On January 23, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) to expand educational freedom and opportunity for families. The EO Section 7 directs the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) within 90 days to review any available mechanisms under which families of students eligible to attend Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools may use their Federal funding for educational options of their choice, including private, faith-based, or public charter schools. EO Section 7 also directs the Secretary to submit a plan to the President describing such mechanisms and the steps necessary to implement them for the 2025-26 school year.
To meet the deadline set by the President in the EO, BIE is expediting the formal Tribal consultation process to provide Tribes and critical Indian education stakeholders the meaningful and timely opportunity to review and comment on the EO, generally, and possible authorities available to the BIE. Rather than the usual 30-day notification period, BIE is providing a two-week, 14-day notification period that still provides the necessary announcement for meaningful engagement while addressing the timeline set forth in the EO.
Consultation will be conducted to seek input from Tribes and stakeholders on the EO and related topics including:

any available mechanisms that could provide families of eligible students use of Federal funding for educational options of their choice including how any such mechanisms will be funded;
to the extent that there exist any such mechanisms to implement in the 2025-26 schoolyear, the eligibility criteria for students in the plan referenced in the EO;
educational options near existing BIE-funded schools that could provide potentially eligible students local flexibility to attend a non-BIE school, such as private, faith-based, or public charter schools.

Two 2-hour webinar sessions are scheduled to afford time for input. Because of the unique mission of the BIE, both sessions are open to Tribal leaders or their delegated representatives or designee, and/or for school boards, parents, teachers, and other public stakeholders. Oral and written comments will also be accepted for one week through 11:59pm PT on Friday, March 21, 2025.
The language of the Executive Order is located at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/expanding-educational-freedom-and-opportunity-for-families/. The BIE recommends reviewing the language prior to attending a consultation session or submitting written comments for providing meaningful feedback.
If you would like to provide written input, please either email your comments to consultationcomments@bie.edu or mail to Ms. Juanita Mendoza, 1849 C Street, NW, MS 3609, Washington DC 20240. If you have any questions regarding the Tribal consultations, you may contact Ms. Juanita Mendoza by phone at (202) 208-3559 or by email at juanita.mendoza@bie.edu.

WOTUS, or “waters of the United States” is an issue of great national importance as it establishes the geographic scope of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. We are reviewing the definition to ensure it follows the law, reduces red tape, cuts overall permitting costs, and lowers the cost of doing business in communities nationwide, and inviting public input through a series of listening sessions.
EPA and the Department of Army are conducting this virtual webinar listening session for Tribes on Zoom. Note that this listening session will be limited to participants from Tribal government agencies and member organizations.
In-person registration will end at 12 p.m. (noon) two business days before each session. Virtual registration will end at noon one day before each session.
Attendees may preregister for a three-minute time slot to speak. Slots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and will be limited by the duration of the meeting. Please sign up to speak at only one listening session. If you are confirmed for registration, the moderator will call on you by name when it is your turn to speak. Confirmed speakers will receive an invitation to join the session as a Panelist with additional information. Requests to speak may be requested during the listening session, pending availability.
Participants can also register to listen only. Once the speaking slots are filled, participants can register to listen to the session or join the speaker waitlist. Registration will be closed when capacity in the listening sessions has been met.
For more information: Please reach out to wotus-outreach@epa.gov with questions or to arrange for accommodations (e.g., sign language interpreters or translation).

Dear Tribal Leader Letter

As we navigate the complexities of our nation’s fiscal realities, President Trump and his Administration are working to enhance government efficiency while upholding trust and treaty obligations across Indian Country. Our objective is to streamline operations while minimizing any potential impact on the quality of services provided to Tribes. To that end, Indian Affairs -which includes the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration (BTFA), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs seeks to engage directly with federally recognized Tribes to receive formal input on critical needs as we develop plans to implement operational improvements. Indian Affairs and other agencies within the U.S. Department of the Interior (Department) remain committed to fulfilling our responsibilities efficiently and effectively.

On February 11, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) 14210 establishing the “Department of Government Efficiency” Workforce Optimization Initiative, which aims to reform the Federal workforce to maximize efficiency and productivity. Under this directive, each agency is required to develop an Agency Reorganization Plan. In support of this effort, the Department is committed to receiving formal consultation feedback from Tribes regarding the EO and related topics.

Multiple sessions are scheduled; all are hybrid unless otherwise noted. Times, locations, and registration information are on the BIA’s website.

Consultation on DOI Strategic Plan

Dear Tribal Leader,

The Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) requires federal agencies to publish a strategic plan one year after a presidential inauguration and to annually track the agencies performance in implementing the plan.

The Department of the Interior (the Department or Interior) is preparing to release its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–2030 Strategic Plan in October 2025. The strategic plan outlines the Department’s strategic goals, objectives, and strategies for the next four years. The FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan may look a bit different than in years past as it will be more streamlined in length and presented at a very high level. Federal agencies will be developing shorter strategic plans to support the Administration’s goal of providing clear and concise documents to the American public.

Interior is committed to working in partnership with Tribal Nations to ensure the outcomes in the plan are meaningful and valuable to Tribal communities. To support this collaboration, the Department will host a series of virtual consultation sessions from June 16-26, 2025. These sessions will provide Tribal leaders the opportunity to offer input on the strategic goals and objectives, and to recommend performance measures and areas of learning. Feedback received will help inform the final plan.

We invite you to participate in this important dialogue and help shape the Department’s path forward. A preview draft framework is available at https://www.bia.gov/service/tribalconsultations/department-interior-fy2026-2030-strategic-plan. Please register in advance of the consultation you plan on attending. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please note, consultations will be closed to the press and the public to protect confidential information that may be addressed. Sessions are focused for each specific community, as noted below.

The consultations will be held virtually on:

June 17 – East Coast Tribal
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern
https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8geQldpcRUmmVO24AI6kcA

When submitting comments, we are specifically seeking insights on the following:

What changes would you like to see incorporated into the strategic goals, strategic objectives, or planned strategies in the FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan?
