Tribal Consultation

DWD Tribal Consultation Policy

On April 9, 2019, Governor Evers signed Executive Order #18 relating to an affirmation of the intergovernmental relationships among the state of Wisconsin and Tribal Nations located within the state.

The Governor's executive order reaffirmed the sovereign authority Tribal Nations have over their members and territory in the state of Wisconsin. The executive order also directed each state agency to develop an updated consultation policy.
