Course Description:Even though federal law and policy assures conservation and protection of natural resources, the outcome of conservation on tribal land is uncertain. Cultural and economic interests of tribes often conflict with those of states and federal government. Tribes face management challenges – increased economic development, changing environmental conditions and competing interests, to name just a few. A thorough understanding of the legal issues and rights of all parties is the best defense for protecting natural resources. Natural resources are important everywhere, but they are more critical to tribes. This insightful, three-day class will cover the basics from water and air to land and wildlife. It will examine the federal laws and regulations that govern these areas and provide a review of the latest case law. Find out where states’ rights end and the tribes’ begin. Understand why these different aspects of the environment are important and how they affect everything from everyday life to business development. Learn how to create and maintain conservation projects and discuss how other tribes’ have used the law to help conserve and protect their natural resources. This hands-on class will give you the opportunity to discuss the unique challenges and issues that impact your tribe and explore solutions. Don’t miss this important training program – register today!
