The Interdepartmental TJS&W partners have worked steadily the last three years to respond to Tribal community concerns through a series of consultation, training and technical assistance sessions held across the country. During each session, TJS&W partners have responded to Tribal recommendations regarding access to resources and meeting the challenges Indian Country faces in individual communities. This year’s conference will offer the opportunity for participants to share their expertise and engage in dialogue about the latest in available resources, best practices and building partnerships.
