Announcement

The Department of Justice is seeking tribal input on the following policy proposals.

  • The Department of Justice would like tribal input on the Draft Tribal Consultation Policy.
  • The department is also considering adopting a policy that would memorialize its practice of enforcing federal wildlife laws in a manner that facilitates the ability of members of federally recognized tribes to use eagle feathers and other bird feathers and parts for cultural and religious purposes. In addition, the Department, through its National Indian Country Training Initiative, is developing a joint federal and tribal training program on enforcement of wildlife and other environmental laws. Read the proposal.

The Department looks forward to receiving your suggestions concerning these policies. For information on how to submit your comments, please visit The Office of Tribal Justice
