| In an effort to strengthen the involvement of American
Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in federal program and policy
decisions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
its sister agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR), are adopting a new policy that requires CDC and
ATSDR programs to consult with Tribal governments when developing
programs and activities that will affect Indian populations. As
sovereign nations, AI/AN tribes exercise inherent sovereign powers
over their members, territory, and lands. As a federal agency, CDC
recognizes its special obligations to, and unique relationship with,
the AI/AN population, and is committed to fulfilling its critical
role in assuring that AI/AN communities are safer and healthier. |
| AI/AN governments, organizations, and communities
share with the federal government the goals of eliminating the
health disparities faced by AI/AN people, assuring that their access
to critical healthcare and public health services is maximized, and
achieving health equity for all AI/AN people and communities. To
achieve these shared goals, it is essential that AI/AN
representatives and federal agencies engage in open, continuous, and
meaningful consultation. |
