Tribal Programs in Indian Country
The U.S. Department of Energy is committed to the cleanup of sites that were
once part of the Nation's nuclear weapons complex. Several of these sites
are close or adjacent to Tribal nations and impact Indian lands and/or resources.
Consistent with the Department's American
Indian & Alaska Native Policy, the Environmental Management program maintains
cooperative agreements with the Tribal nations to enhance their
involvement in cleanup decisions while protecting relevant tribal rights and resources.
