April reflections from Assistant Secretary Contreras

ACF’s Tribal Consultation Policy includes eliminating health and human service disparities, ensuring that access to critical health and human services is maximized, and advancing the social, physical, and economic status of Indians. To achieve these goals, and to the extent practicable and permitted by law, it is essential that Federally-recognized Indian Tribes and ACF engage in open, continuous, and meaningful consultation.

Assistant Secretary Contreras recaps the work of ACF and its partners during the month of November.

The Administration for Children and Families values our government-to-government relationship with American Indian Tribes and recognizes that robust tribal consultation is important to our responsibility to improve the well-being of children and families across the country.

Assistant Secretary January Contreras shares highlights from her first 30 days with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).

A unique government-to-government relationship exists between American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes and the federal government. This relationship is grounded in the United States Constitution, numerous treaties, statutes, federal case law, regulations, and Executive Orders, as well as political, legal, moral, and ethical principles. To support this ongoing relationship, ACF has established an Agency Workgroup titled the Native American Affairs Advisory Council (NAAAC) and the ACF Tribal Advisory Committee (TAC).
