The Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) announced today the launch of an extensive plan to update California’s Tribal Consultation Guidelines. The effort aims to strengthen protections for Tribal cultural resources and honor government-to-government relationships with Tribal Nations and Native communities across the state. The Tribal Consultation Guidelines, last revised in 2005, serve as a critical resource for ensuring that Tribal governments have a meaningful voice in land use decisions and environmental planning.
