Indian Affairs Commission meeting highlighted with collaboration efforts between state, tribal nations
The North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission's regular meeting, chaired by Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller, was held Tuesday at the State Capitol.
The meeting included insightful exchanges among tribal leaders about ongoing economic development initiatives within their respective communities. Charles Gorecki, CEO of the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota, presented on how the EERC remains dedicated to forging steadfast partnerships with tribal nations in their ongoing pursuit of energy development.
Additionally, two cabinet agency leaders, Department of Water Resources Director Andrea Travnicek and Chief Information Officer Kuldip Mohanty from North Dakota Information Technology, shared their strategies for further collaboration between the state and tribal agencies.
Created by the North Dakota Legislature in 1949, the Indian Affairs Commission was one of the first such commissions established in the United States. Although its official function has been modified over the years to reflect changes in federal and state policy, the main goal of the Commission has always been to create a better North Dakota through the improvement of tribal-state relations and better understanding between American Indian and non-Indian people.
