Tribal Consultation Policy
The Tribal Consultation policy reflects the Universities of Wisconsin System’s commitment to government-to-government relationships with the Tribal Nations, including regular communication related to research, agreements, initiatives, and policies that have an impact on the tribes and individual members. The purpose of this policy is to develop strong, collaborative relationships with the sovereign Tribal Nations in Wisconsin. This policy reflects UW System’s commitment to these important government-to-government relationships by recognizing and affirming fundamental principles as they pertain to consultation and respect.
This policy applies to all University of Wisconsin System institutions who develop and engage in relationships with sovereign American Indian Tribal Nations in Wisconsin. UW-Eau Claire's Tribal Liaison represents both UW-Eau Claire and UW-Eau Claire Barron County campuses. The UWEC Tribal Consultation Policy Committee meets several times throughout the year to address issues, initiatives, and policies specific to our two campuses.
