Joel Moffett

ATNI has also been able to support the administrative needs of the Natural Resource/Land Committee by drafting resolutions, organizing and coordinating topics and agendas, and assisting in the follow up and implementation of resolution policy directives. We are able to develop and maintain a list serve for comprehensive information dissemination as well as to obtain and share input from Tribes on issues of common concern. Over the past two years, ATNI produced over 30 regionally approved policy resolutions related to environmental and natural resource management, remediation, and protection. These resolutions provide regional policy guidance for ATNI member Tribes and federal and state partners. The ATNI Natural Resource/Land Committee and Natural Resource Policy Coordinator provides communication and coordination of policy and technical issues regionally and nationally.
