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, September
23, 2004, and April 29, 1994, and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) Tribal Consultation Policy (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/consultation-support/tribal-consultation/policy.html">https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/consultation-support/tribal-consultation/policy.html</a>).
Purpose: The purpose of the consultation meeting is to advance CDC
and 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 and ATSDR conduct government-
to-government consultations with elected tribal officials of federally
recognized AI/AN tribes or their authorized representatives.
Consultation is an enhanced form of communication that emphasizes
trust, respect, and shared responsibility. It is an open and free
exchange of information among parties that leads to mutual
understanding and informed decision-making on behalf of the federal
government.
Matters to be Considered: CDC and ATSDR are hosting this meeting to
hold consultation with federally recognized AI/AN tribes to receive
input and guidance to inform sexual violence prevention activities and
strategies in developing Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs). CDC
and ATSDR are seeking feedback on how the agencies can better engage
with Indian Country through meaningful consultation and on how the
agency can ensure that a NOFO from CDC's Rape Prevention and Education
(RPE) program is sensitive to the needs and concerns of tribal
communities and is as effective as possible regarding the prevention of
sexual violence, as well as on how the agency can better support tribes
and tribal communities moving forward regarding health inequities
related to RPE and injury prevention. The tribal consultation meeting
is intended to provide interested parties with an opportunity to
discuss their public health priorities and concerns related to RPE that
may affect tribal nations.
The RPE program was authorized through the Violence Against Women
Act, which was passed by Congress in 1994, and was most recently
reauthorized in 2022. Grants awarded under this program are to be used
for RPE programs conducted by state and territorial health departments
and sexual assault coalitions, including tribal sexual assault
coalitions. Additional information about the RPE program can be found
at <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/sexualviolence/rpe/index.html">https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/sexualviolence/rpe/index.html</a>.
Elected tribal officials can find guidance to assist in developing
tribal testimony for CDC and 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.
