with AI/AN tribal nations and to 

improve the health of AI/AN tribal 

nations by pursuing goals that include 

assisting in eliminating the health 

disparities faced by AI/AN tribal 

nations; ensuring that access to critical 

health and human services and public 

health services is maximized to advance 

or enhance the social, physical, and 

economic status of AI/AN people; and 

promoting health equity for all Indian 

people and communities. To advance 

these goals, CDC/ATSDR conducts 

government-to-government 

consultations with elected tribal 

officials or their authorized 

representatives. Consultation is an 

enhanced form of communication that 

emphasizes trust, respect, and shared 

responsibility. It is an open and free 

exchange of information and opinion 

among parties that leads to mutual 

understanding. 

Matters To Be Considered: CDC/ 

ATSDR is hosting this meeting to hold 

a consultation with federally recognized 

tribal nations to receive input and 

guidance on improving the current 

CDC/ATSDR Tribal Consultation Policy. 

CDC/ATSDR is seeking feedback on 

how the agency can improve its policies 

and practices to better engage with 

Indian Country through meaningful 

consultation. This feedback will be used 

to edit the current CDC’s Consultation 

Policy. The Tribal consultation session 

will provide opportunities for elected 

AI/AN tribal officials to speak openly 

about the public health issues affecting 

their tribal nations. This consultation 

session is virtual and open to the public. 

Elected tribal officials can find guidance 

to assist in developing tribal testimony 

for CDC/ATSDR at https://www.cdc.gov/ 

tribal/documents/consultation/TribalTestimony-Guidance.pdf. Please submit 

tribal testimony on official tribal 

letterhead. 

Based on the number of elected tribal 

officials giving testimony and the time 

available, it may be necessary to limit 

the time for each presenter. We will 

adjourn tribal consultation meetings 

early if all attendees who requested to 

provide oral testimony in advance of 

and during the consultation have 

delivered their comments. Agenda items 

are subject to change as priorities 

dictate.

ATSDR’s Tribal Consultation Policy can
