Indian nations have the right to establish policies to control their lands and resources and to maintain high standards of environmental quality for tribal communities. Tribal government officials are dedicated stewards with culturally-based knowledge in best practices and insight regarding the difficult tasks of managing, preserving and protecting their homelands. The federal government as trustee has limited responsibilities in managing trust lands and resources that are compatible with tribal government goals, objectives and principles. The NCAI monitors federal, state and local activities which may assist or conflict with the ability of tribal governments to establish and regulate land use and environmental policies and practices that provide cultural continuity and sustainable tribal economies.
