 Tribal Consultation Session |
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will be holding a series of tribal consultations regarding a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would frame a partnership between the departments to implement President Obama’s White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education (Initiative), established by Executive Order 13592 on December 2, 2011. The Departments would like to consult on the following objectives: (1) the development and content of the MOU between the departments and (2) the strategic implementation of the Initiative.
The departments are registering participants only for the consultation on Thursday, May 24, 2012 (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MST), at Northern Arizona University, Ashurst Hall Auditorium, Building #11, 321 McMullen Circle, Flagstaff, AZ 86001.
The upcoming tribal consultations build upon four recent Tribal Leader roundtable discussions held early in 2012 that focus on the proposed MOU between the Department of the Interior and the Department of Education to improve American Indian and Alaska Native education.
