WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of the Interior will host the 2024 White House Tribal Nations Summit on Dec. 9.
The summit, which was reconvened in 2021 for the first time since 2016, provides an opportunity for administration and tribal leaders from the 574 federally recognized tribes to meaningfully engage about ways the federal government can invest in and strengthen Native communities, as well as ensure that progress in Indian Country endures for years to come.
Secretary Haaland and other Biden-Harris administration officials will provide remarks and discuss new announcements and efforts to implement key policy initiatives supporting tribal communities.
The Biden-Harris administration has prioritized strengthening nation-to-nation relationships, honoring trust and treaty obligations with federally recognized tribes, and advancing tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Through the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act, the administration has made historic investments in tribal communities to ensure they have the support and resources they need to thrive.
A livestream will be available on the Interior Department’s YouTube page.
