The Indigenous Peoples Subcommittee is one of six subcommittees of
the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC), a
federal advisory committee of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The N EJAC believes the federal government has a
responsibility to consult and collaborate with American Indian and
Alaska Native tribal governments as an essential element of
itstrust responsibility to federally recognized tribal governments.
However, the NEJAC contends that effective consultation and
collaboration between federal agencies and federally recognized
tribal governments is lacking. The NEJAC also believes that some
existing public participation processes provide inadequate
opportunities for tribal members and tribal communities to have
meaningful involvement in the environmental and public health
decisions affecting them.
