OF DEPART Office of the Attorney General PRO SEQUITUR Washington, D. C. 20530 DONING JUSTITIA 5 73 September 2, 1997 The Honorable Erskine Bowles Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20502 Dear Mr Bowles: Easkine I write, in response to your May 23, 1997 memorandum, to describe some examples of the activities undertaken by the Department of Justice to implement the President's Executive Memorandum on Government-to-Government Relations with Tribal Governments. 59 Fed. Reg. 22951 (1994). 1. Government-to-Government Relations with Indian Tribes Shortly after the President held the historic meeting with tribal leaders at the White House and issued the government-to- government relations directive, the Departments of Justice, the Interior, and Housing and Urban Development convened the National American Indian Listening Conference. The Listening Conference gave tribal leaders around the Nation a chance to voice their concerns directly. A repeated concern voiced by tribal leaders was that they needed to know who to contact at the Department of Justice to express their governmental concerns. Working with existing resources, the Department of Justice created the Office of Tribal Justice (OTJ) in January 1995 to: (1) provide a permanent channel for Indian tribes to communicate their concerns to the Department; (2) coordinate policy on Indian affairs both within the Department and with other federal agencies; and (3) ensure that the Department 1 works with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis. In June 1995, I issued the enclosed Department of Justice Policy on Indian Sovereignty and Government-to-Government 1 Thomas LeClaire serves as Director of the Office of Tribal Justice, and OTJ is the Department's designated initial point of contact for Indian tribes. He may be reached at (202) 514-8812.
