USGS Office of Tribal Relations Information is a resource for
Native American governments, communities, organizations, and
people. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides technical
expertise, reports, and other impartial information sources that
benefit Native Americans interested in subsistence issues,
water, land use, and the health of many parts of the
environment. Native self-sufficiency, economic development, and
conservation are cultivated through Native decisions informed
with USGS data and analyses. The USGS works in cooperation with
American Indian and Alaska Native governments, conducting
research on water and mineral resources, animals and plants of
environmental, economic, or subsistence importance, natural
hazards, and geologic resources. Digital data on cartography,
mineral resources, streamflow, biota, and other topics are
available to American Indian and Alaska Native individuals and
institutions. The USGS recognizes the need to learn from and
share knowledge with Native peoples. This repor
