Tribal Protocol Manual

To foster effective interaction with Native American Tribes, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) employs the "Tribal Protocol Manual" in implementing the Tribal Liaison Program. This manual is a reference tool aimed to promote a deeper understanding of Tribal sovereignty, the Federal Trust Responsibility, and the appropriate protocols for interacting with Tribal governments and non-federally recognized Tribes.
