NEPA for Tribal Professionals

$500.00

This one and half-day training is designed for Native professionals and tribal-serving organizations who review NEPA documents or participate in federal environmental review processes. Grounded in a Tribal perspective, the course focuses on building practical skills to evaluate, strengthen, and respond to NEPA documents in ways that reflect tribal priorities and sovereignty.

Participants will learn to critically review Categorical Exclusions (CEs), Environmental Assessments (EAs), and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for legal sufficiency, clarity, and analytical quality. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will practice reviewing an Environmental Assessment to identify gaps, unnecessary analysis, and opportunities for developing comments.

This course emphasizes tribal-specific considerations under NEPA, including meaningful government-to-government consultation, cultural and natural resources protection, and the integration of Tribal Knowledge, treaty rights, and trust responsibilities. Participants will also gain an overview of how NHPA Section 106 and the Endangered Species Act intersect with NEPA in projects affecting tribal lands and resources.
