DOJ Consultation: Meeting the Public Safety Needs of Tribal Communities
2022-03-16 14:00 - 15:30, 2022-03-17 14:00 - 15:30 | Virtual Event
Dear Tribal Leader:
We are pleased to invite you to government-to-government consultations with the Department of Justice (DOJ), which will discuss DOJ’s efforts to address the unacceptably high rate of violent crime in Native communities, including the rates of missing or murdered indigenous persons. Deputy Attorney General Monaco recently issued a memorandum establishing the Department’s Steering Committee to address the crisis of missing or murdered indigenous persons and required that the Steering Committee consult with Tribal leaders on its work. As the Deputy Attorney General noted in that memo, challenges faced by Tribes are best met by Tribally-driven solutions, so outreach and communication with Tribes will be fundamental to DOJ’s efforts to promote public safety in Tribal communities. To support our discussion, we will follow up separately with a framing paper.
All sessions will be held virtually.
Wednesday, March 16, 3:00 – 4:30 pm Eastern

Description: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education (OIE) is seeking stakeholder input to identify ways the OIE can better embrace and support the whole Native child. We are looking to identify efforts to meet the social, emotional, and mental health needs of Native students. The purpose of this opportunity is to hear, listen, and learn about promising practices and persistent barriers affecting an educator’s ability to support the social, emotional, and mental health needs of their Native students. This session advances Secretarial Supplemental Priority 4(a) which is to identify culturally informed solutions that address negative learning environments that are impacting social and emotional well-being.
Questions:

What are barriers that you face when attempting to address Native student social, emotional, and/or mental health needs? (e.g., time, space, budget)
What are the challenges associated with addressing negative learning environments that are impacting the social, emotional, and mental health well-being of Native students?
What are ways that the OIE can best embrace a “Whole Native Child” model where OIE grants can support the social, emotional, and mental health needs of Native students?
What are types of activities have you conducted or witnessed in-action that you believe are having a positive social, emotional, and mental health impact on Native students?
What social, emotional, and mental health skills or areas that need support as we identify ways to support Native students across the country? (e.g., self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, mindfulness, responsible decision-making)
How can the OIE support your local social, emotional, and mental health initiatives that embrace the whole Native child?
What are some school climate strategies that have had positive and transformative impacts in your local school community?
Please describe ways that the OIE can support the professional educator workforce as it grapples with educator turnover due to burnout.

DOI Tribal Consultations on the Removal of Derogatory and Offensive Names from Federal Usage
2022-03-21 13:00 - 15:00, 2022-03-22 13:00 - 15:00, 2022-03-23 12:00 - 14:00 | Virtual Event
Dear Tribal Leader:
The Department of the Interior (Department) is responsible for the stewardship and management of public lands. However, there are many geographic features throughout the Nation that bear names which are considered derogatory.
On November 19, 2021, Secretary of the Interior Haaland signed Secretary’s Order (S.O.) 3404, declaring “squaw” (henceforth written as sq___) as a derogatory term and establishing the Derogatory Geographic Names Task Force (Task Force). The Task Force will review and select replacement names for the 665 geographic features with the term sq___ to submit to the Board on Geographic Names (BGN) for action.
A list of candidate geographic names to replace those declared derogatory will be available for comment during a series of Tribal Consultations to be held consistent with Department policies and procedures. A list of five candidate names for each feature was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). These candidate replacement names were derived through a search of nearby named geographic features until at least five nearby names were available. The candidate replacement name will replace the derogatory modifier. For example, “Castle Creek” is the nearest named feature to “Sq___ Mesa”. The first candidate replacement name for the derogatory named feature would be “Castle Mesa”.
The Task Force will consider all comments and any proposed additional candidate replacement names received during the Tribal Consultation period in developing a single recommended replacement name for each feature. The BGN received several proposals to rename a feature covered by S.O. 3404 through their conventional process, and these proposals are not yet resolved. These proposed names are indicated in the enclosed list and are also available at regulations.gov. The Task Force will consider these proposed candidate replacement names ahead of the candidate replacement names that were determined by proximity. Replacement names, to the extent possible, shall adhere to the BGN Principles, Policies, and Procedures for the Domestic Names Committee. BGN Policy V regarding Derogatory and Offensive Names now applies to the word ‘Sq___’ as it is declared derogatory by S.O. 3404. Replacement names proposed during the Tribal Consultation period that are in clear violation of an existing policy will not be considered by the Task Force. The list of all replacement names recommended by the Task Force will be submitted to the BGN Domestic Names Committee for final adjudication.
To inform the Task Force’s recommendations to the BGN, we invite you to participate in the following consultation sessions to provide comments on the list and to provide your recommendations for candidate names to be considered along with the initial list.

Description: The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education Formula Team is seeking stakeholder input to identify ways the OIE can support the role of Indian Parent Committees (IPCs). When ESSA was reauthorized in 2015, it removed the Indian Parent Committee’s (IPC) post-award oversight causing a grantee’s (e.g., local education agency/LEA, Tribe, BIE) administrative leadership employees to have full authority over the grant’s funded activities and services after the entity receives the funds each year (6114)(c)(4)(A-C) https://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/essa/legislation/title-vi.pdf (p.7/53). This session advances Secretarial Supplemental Priority 6(a) and (b) which is to increase parent and family engagement.
Questions:

How has the pandemic impacted IPC pre/post award input efforts?
How can OIE further strengthen our partnerships to promote IPC success?
How can the OIE increase parent, family, and Tribal engagement with IPCs?
What can be done to empower IPC & LEA administration/employee shared leadership efforts?
What is your IPC’s current and/or persistent barriers to success, e.g., policies, procedures?
What type(s) of systemic change needs to be accomplished to support IPCs – even post-award- and strengthen Title VI(a) program results?
What types of cross-agency coordination is needed to advance systemic change?
What is your IPC success stories, e.g., what is working well?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is initiating a Tribal Consultation and Urban Confer on the Helping to End Addiction Long-term® (HEAL) Initiative, a federal trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. The initiative aims to reduce suffering due to opioids and chronic pain; curb the rates of opioid misuse, addiction, and overdose; and achieve long-term recovery from opioid addiction.
They are seeking input from Tribal Nations to develop priorities and collaborative strategies to address the opioid crisis in Indian Country. They would like to understand the research priorities important to your communities and how HEAL could engage with you to develop a
Tribally-focused initiative to speed development of scientific and local solutions to the opioid crisis. This could be through supporting new approaches to research on improving chronic pain management and opioid misuse, addiction, and overdose in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. NIH seeks to continue to build on the input from the 2018 Consultation, and adapt their approaches as the overdose crisis continues to change.
NIH is announcing a two-hour virtual NIH Tribal Consultation on Research Needed to Address the Opioid Crisis Including Managing Chronic Pain and Addiction on Thursday, March 31, 2022, from 2:00-4:00 p.m., ET.

NICWA Annual Protecting Our Children National American Indian Conference
2022-04-03 - 2022-04-06 | Virtual Event
40th Annual Virtual Protecting Our Children National American Indian Conference – “Homecoming: 40 Years of Connecting for Our Children”
2/4/2022 update: This event is now VIRTUAL only.
Out of an abundance of caution due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, NICWA has decided to take our 40th annual conference fully virtual for 2022. While we all had high hopes of gathering in-person this year, we find it to be in everyone’s best interest to take the conference back to a virtual-only platform again.

Our ancestors, in their villages and camps, often traveled to neighboring places to visit relatives, replenish supplies, celebrate seasons and hunts, and visit to enjoy each other’s company and share news. This physical movement was part of the cycle of their calendars, something to anticipate and look forward to. Through these relationships and interdependence, our peoples were sustained over generations. Similarly, today, no matter where we work, travel, or live, home remains the place where we feel connected. For 40 years, the Protecting Our Children Conference has been a home for those who serve our children and families to gather.
Homecoming, or coming back to our place of origin, also implies connecting to our past in appreciation of where we’ve come from, the people whose hard work and perseverance made this community life possible, and gratitude to the Creator for our existence and daily experience. This conference is an opportunity for reflection and stock-taking. We can observe where we are now, the characteristics of this place—both literally and figuratively, and the status of our people. This is a chance to affirm what we do and to adjust practices so that we may serve families better.
This homecoming will provide participants an opportunity to chart our self-determined future, to plan for the physical and social movement to create the change needed to sustain our people. Our advocacy is a call for justice and equity, the principles that guide our future. Our communities call for the structural change that will enable us to transform our helping systems and services to better support and heal children and families. Our self-determined futures and the well-being of our citizens are at stake.
