Bureau of Land Management Tribal Consultation
2021-07-13 13:00 - 15:00 | Virtual Event
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is assessing the impacts of moving of the BLM Headquarters (HQ), including various functions and staff, to Grand Junction, Colorado, as well as moving most positions that were stationed in Washington, DC to various offices in the West. These moves were directed in July 2019 by the Trump Administration, and concerns have since been raised about impacts to BLM and its programs.

July 12, 2021, at 2:00 pm -4:00 pm Eastern (zoom link)
July 13, 2021, at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern (zoom link)

Alternatively, you are invited to provide written comment on this topic to consultation@blm.gov by July 16, 2021.
The BLM is seeking the following information on the location and restructuring of BLM HQ functions, including how to optimize BLM services provided to you:

In what ways does the location of BLM HQ impact Tribes, Alaska Natives, and Tribal corporations?
In what ways have services to Tribes, Alaska Natives, or Tribal corporations changed and/or remained the same since BLM HQ’s move out West in late-2019? How can services be improved?
Are there concerns for how restructuring the BLM HQ and other key positions across the West has impacted services provided to Tribes, Alaska Natives, or Tribal corporations?
Are there additional relevant issues you would like to raise that BLM should consider in its review of the function of BLM HQ and other positions that were transferred out of Washington, DC?

The BLM points of contact for this project are Danna Jackson (available by phone at (406) 422-9154 or by email at djackson@blm.gov) and Byron Loosle (available by phone at (202) 302-1442 or by email at bloosle@blm.gov).

USET Virtual Tribal Climate Resilience Camp
2021-07-12 - 2021-07-16 | Virtual Event
The USET Tribal Climate Resilience Camp will be virtual!

USET is following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tribal, federal, and state public health guidelines and updates regarding COVID-19. In order to ensure the safety of Tribal Nation citizens, our staff and partners we will be holding a virtual version of the Tribal Climate Resilience Camp for the dates of July 12-16, 2021.

Tribal Climate Resilience Camp registration and questionnaire now available!

To register for the Tribal Climate Resilience Camp, please take our questionnaire. This will register your team and better allow us to ensure the camp presentation and facilitation sessions meet the climate change concerns and priorities of your Tribal Nation and community. The Tribal Climate Resilience Camp will be divided into two learning cohorts, the budding cohort, and the leafing cohort. Both cohorts will receive instruction on climate change and climate change adaptation planning. The budding cohort will breakout into sessions designed for Tribal Nations in the beginning stages of climate adaptation planning. The leafing cohort will breakout into sessions for Tribal Nations with existing climate adaptation plans, but that are looking for guidance and support to implement plans while continuing to engage Tribal Nation communities and partners.

Tribal Climate Resilience Camp Goal

To support teams of Tribal leaders, staff, elders, and the next generation to build resilience to climate change.

Why you should participate

Learn examples of Tribal climate adaptation planning
Identify resources from climate science centers and Tribal organizations
Build camaraderie with your Tribal Nation team
Develop climate adaptation to fit the values and priorities of your Tribal Nation/community
Create a strategy to engage your Tribal Nation/community in climate adaptation planning

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Who Is The Ideal Candidate To Attend The TCRC?
A: It may not be an individual, but rather a team that makes the ideal candidate. The camp planning committee is looking for teams of three individuals from their respective Tribal Nations. Ideally the various team members would hit all three of the following descriptors:

Tribal environmental professional: Someone who might be spearheading the efforts in producing a climate adaptation plan, either now or in the future.
Tribal leader: Could be a Council member, a community leader, or culture/traditional knowledge keeper.
Next Generation Tribal Environmental Professional: Someone who has just started in natural resources and shows promise in holding a key role with the department in the future.

Q: What Is A Vulnerability Assessment?
A: A vulnerability assessment also works to synthesize and integrate information on a deeper level than a comprehensive climate adaptation plan. Information included will often be expert-derived cultural or traditional ecological knowledge, scientific knowledge, and quantitative analyses all pertaining to a particular natural/cultural resource, business, ecosystem, housing area, or emergency response protocol, and other items. This information is garnered in order to assess the degree to which that particular item or area of interest is susceptible to the impacts of climate change while also identifying what specific areas are most susceptible and/or the reasons why.
