The Army conducted a number of nationwide meetings with tribal representatives and established guidelines for consultation with Native Americans. Army-Indian relations improved significantly through changes in policy, increased sensitivity to environmental issues, and active public outreach, to address issues of concern to Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. The Army is proactive in its efforts to shape a uniform approach to address tribal concerns. Army regulations require installation commanders to establish on-going relationships with tribes on a government-to-government basis and to afford them an opportunity to comment and consult at the earliest practicable time in the planning and execution of Army undertakings.
