Promoting Effective Relationships with Tribal Governments
Wednesday — 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm
Magic Kingdom Room 4
California is home to 109 federally recognized tribes – a greater number than any other state. Counties, due in part to the rural location of many present-day tribal lands, frequently interact with tribal governments in the course of carrying out their broad array of service responsibilities. This workshop will discuss models of effective government-to-government relationships between local governments and tribes and provide insight into methods to increase collaboration to the benefit of communities served by tribal and county governments.
Panelists:
- James Ramos, San Bernardino County Supervisor
- Ryan Sundberg, Humboldt County Supervisor
- Lynn Valbuena, Chairwoman, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians
