Applying the NEPA Process- Native American Tribal Concerns and Participation
Co-hosted by:
The Native American Fish and Wildlife Society and Shipley Training Group
The Native American Fish & Wildlife Society (NAFWS) is pleased to announce a webinar training on applying the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process through Shipley Training Group on April 15-17, 2025 at 10am MDT. This training is open to a total of 30 participants. Attendance will be based on those individuals who are registered first, two participants per member tribe. Applying the NEPA Process—Native American Tribal Concerns and Participation: The course will review the following documents for compliance with NEPA, CEQ regulations, and federal agencies’ implementing procedures (with an emphasis on the BIA NEPA regulations): Categorical Exclusions; Environmental Assessments/Findings of No Significant Impacts; and Environmental Impact Statements/Records of Decisions. As part of the course participants will review an EA for compliance and clarity of information. They will also identify what information is sufficient, what information is missing, and what information is extraneous, as well as the advice would they give for improving the document by redrafting it. The course will also discuss scoping and public involvement requirements associated with tribal treaty rights, self-government (government-to-government consultation requirements), and BIA requirements for tribal involvement.
