Join us for a one‑hour webinar "Working with Tribe's" exploring effective consultation practices with Nevada’s 28 federally recognized Tribal Nations. The session will unpack the complexities of Tribal sovereignty, the government‑to‑government relationships that shape community and economic development efforts, and the legally mandated consultation processes that guide this work. Drawing on historical examples, established protocols, and expectations shared by Tribal leadership, the discussion will highlight practical do’s and don’ts for meaningful engagement.
