Tribal Consultation
At OSMRE, we fundamentally believe that honoring our relationships with the Tribes and upholding our trust and treaty responsibilities are paramount to our mission. We take our commitment to strengthening Tribal sovereignty and self-governance seriously. We know that robust consultations are the cornerstones of our relationships with tribal governments.
OSMRE's Indian Lands Program regularly engages with tribal governments in its Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act permitting & enforcement activities.
