SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held in accordance
with Presidential Executive Order No. 13175 of November 6, 2000,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments and the
Presidential Memoranda of January 26, 2021, November 5, 2009, and
September 23, 2004.
Purpose: The purpose of the consultation meeting is to advance CDC/
ATSDR support for and collaboration with American Indian and Alaska
Native (AI/AN) tribal nations and to improve the health of AI/AN people
by pursuing goals that include assisting in eliminating health
disparities faced by tribal nations; ensuring that access to critical
health and human services and public health services is maximized to
advance or enhance the social, physical, and economic status of AI/AN
people; and promoting health equity for all AI/AN people and
communities. To advance these goals, CDC/ATSDR conducts government-to-
government consultations with elected tribal officials or their
authorized representatives. The tribal consultation is intended to
provide interested parties with an opportunity to discuss their public
health priorities that may affect tribal nations. Consultation is an
enhanced form of communication that emphasizes trust, respect, and
shared responsibility. It is an open and free exchange of information
and opinion among parties that leads to mutual understanding.
Matters to be Considered: CDC/ATSDR is hosting this meeting to hold
consultation with federally recognized tribal nations to receive input
and guidance on strengthening relationships during the implementation
of the CDC Moving Forward Initiative. CDC/ATSDR is seeking feedback on
how the agency can better engage with Indian country through meaningful
consultation. The consultation will be held to also hear from tribes on
their priorities as we transition out of the COVID-19 public health
emergency and on how CDC/ATSDR can better support tribes and tribal
communities moving forward.
Elected tribal officials can find guidance to assist in developing
tribal testimony for CDC/ATSDR at <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/documents/consultation/Tribal-Testimony-Guidance.pdf">https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/documents/consultation/Tribal-Testimony-Guidance.pdf</a>. Please submit tribal
testimony on official tribal letterhead.
Based on the number of elected tribal officials giving testimony
and the time available, it may be necessary to limit the time for each
presenter. We will adjourn tribal consultation meetings early if all
attendees who requested to provide oral testimony in advance of and
during the consultation have delivered their comments. Agenda items are
subject to change as priorities dictate.
