SUMMARY:Tribal Shared Stewardship and Mapping Areas of Tribal Importance
DESCRIPTION:What is It? \n\nDirectly Supports Tribal Sovereignty by making Tribal geospatial data sovereignty and governance a top priority.\nIncrease Tribal participation in the land management planning process on US Forest Service lands that result in prioritization of treaty\, religious\, cultural\, and subsistence interests; and the identification of opportunities for collaboration and shared stewardship.\n\nAreas of Tribal Importance \n\nAreas are to be determined soley by tribal governments (historical sites\, cultural areas\, traditional gathering areas\, endangered species\, treaty and religious use areas).\nIncorporate Tribal expertise and Indigenous knowledge into Federal land management.\nAll data remains on Tribal Government systems and is fully governed by the tribe as long as no federal monies are involved in the data creation (pursuant to the GDA).\nNTGISC is available to support tribes in building geospatial capacity necessary to create and manage their data.\nATI’s are another layer in addition to Section 106 of the NHPA because it covers more than historic properties.\nNHPA is project by project\, while ATI is on a landscape scale and allows for early engagement in planning and management.\nATI’s can be updated in near real time instead of given timelines like NHPA.\n\nUS Forest Service- Office of Tribal Relations \nThe Office of Tribal Relations within the US Forest Service serves as a single point of contact for consultation with American Indian and Alaska Native Governments. It ensures that relevant programs and policies are developed in consultation with tribal constituents and preserves Tribal sovereignty.

SUMMARY:Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the fifth annual Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit\, October 6–7\, 2026\, at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mt. Pleasant\, Michigan. This two-day event brings together tribal leaders\, council members\, tribal government officials and executives from tribal enterprises in Michigan\, Wisconsin and Minnesota. \n\n\n\nWe’re shaping this year’s Great Lakes Tribal Economic Summit around what it takes to build and finance tribal economies right now — how deals come together\, get funded and how tribes are structuring growth. The agenda will cover Native finance\, housing development\, healthcare\, energy and tribal taxation\, along with practical tools like Section 105(l) leasing and real-world examples. It’s designed for tribal leaders and enterprise executives\, as well as the bankers\, attorneys\, policymakers and partners working alongside them. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also include sessions on data centers\, AI\, workforce development and drones — focused on how these sectors are emerging in tribal communities. Policy updates will track what’s happening in Washington — across federal agencies and Congress — and what it means for tribal economies\, projects and decision-making. \n\n\n\nThe goal is straightforward: give tribal leaders and partners clear\, usable information they can act on — and create space to interact directly with the people leading change across the tribal economy.
