The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) invites you to participate in formal Government-to-Government consultation regarding Tribal land acquisition funded through the Land and Water Consultation Fund (LWCF). The LWCF was established by Congress in 1965 to help preserve, develop, and ensure access to outdoor recreation resources. The Great American Outdoors Act of 2020, P.L. 116-152, authorized $900 million annually in permanent funding for LWCF.

They welcome your written comments, which should be submitted by email to consultation@bia.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Trina Locke, Acting Deputy Bureau Director, Trust Services, at trina.locke@bia.gov, or Lorna Babby, Division Chief, Trust Land Consolidation, at lorna.babby@bia.gov.
