the health of tribes through, including but not limited to, 
assisting in eliminating the health disparities faced by Indian 
Tribes, ensuring that access to critical health and human services

health equity for all Indian people and communities. To advance

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 and comprehension.

and communication and engagement with tribes; however, discussion is 
not limited to these topics.

CDC leaders will engage in a listening session with CDC's director
