Region 6 Tribal Affairs
Region 6 serves 65 federally recognized Native Nations. Our Tribal Team members act as liaisons to tribes and manage General Assistance Program grants. We partner with tribes located in Region 6 on a government-to-government basis, consistent with their inherent sovereignty. Through these activities, we strive to strengthen the relationship between Tribes and EPA. Our office also assists other Divisions in working with tribes and helps resolve problems encountered in addressing environmental issues.
