| Understanding tribal engagement begins with knowledge and context. Many natural resource management professionals operate on Native Land, yet not all are familiar with tribal governance. Trainers from the Whitener Group and The Nature Conservancy will present the origins and application of the popular “Indian Country 101” training curriculum, emphasizing the importance of establishing a foundation of knowledge about tribal governments before advancing to more comprehensive partnership and engagement initiatives. Advance registration is required to participate in this interactive session. https://www.whitenergroup.biz/indiancountry101 |
