The Walla Walla District fully supports tribal self-governance and government-to-government relations between federally recognized Tribes and the Federal government. Tribes with protected rights or resources that could be significantly affected by a proposed Federal action (e.g., a permit decision) have the right to consult with the Walla Walla District on a government-to-government basis.
Views of each Tribe regarding protected rights and resources will be accorded due to considerations in this process. Tribes are invited to actively participate in the Federal decision-making process regarding protected tribal rights and resources. Consultation may be initiated by a Tribe upon written request to the District Commander.
