Native American Affairs Liaison

Native American Liaison activities strive to maintain strong communications and relations between the Service and Tribes. The focus is based on the government’s trust responsibility to Tribes to ensure that consultation and coordination with Tribes takes place as the Service works to carry out its mission, and that the Service provides assistance to Tribes, wherever possible.

The Service recognizes that Pacific Northwest Tribes have significant reserved treaty rights and other rights related to fish and wildlife resources. We look forward to continuing our efforts to work with Tribes on fish and wildlife management, conservation and cultural issues.
