To advance these goals, CDC/ATSDR conducts government-to- government consultations with elected tribal officials or their authorized representatives. Consultation is an enhanced form of communication that emphasizes trust, respect, and shared responsibility. It is an open and free exchange of information and opinion among parties that leads to mutual understanding.

These meetings will include discussions about tribal [[Page 26106]] priorities for the CDC/ATSDR, public health capacity in Indian Country, AI/AN public health concerns, budget and funding opportunities, and programmatic highlights, among other topics. The discussion topics are subject to revision as priorities change. Tribes also will have an opportunity to present testimony about tribal health issues during the Tribal Consultation Session.
