The new Presidential Memorandum also directs the Secretary of the Interior and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, in consultation with Tribal Nations, to establish training modules regarding Tribal consultation. These modules will be available to all government employees who work with Tribal Nations including any policies or programs with Tribal implications. The Presidential Memorandum further directs that the training modules should explain the concepts of Tribal consultation, the Nation-to-Nation relationship, and Tribal sovereignty.
