Working closely with California Native American tribes is an essential part of CARB’s mission to promote and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through the effective and efficient reduction of air pollutants. Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-10-11 on September 19, 2011, directing State agencies and departments, including CARB, to engage in effective government-to-government cooperation, collaboration, communication, and consultation with both federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes when developing legislation, regulations, rules, and policies on matters that may affect tribal entities. CARB is committed to strengthening its communications and relationships with tribes across the State, recognizing that each tribe is distinctly different in its geography, culture, history, governance structure and language.
The goal of this page is to connect California Native American tribes to up-to-date resources and information, including CARB’s tribal consultation policies and upcoming funding opportunities. Each of the subpages linked below are frequently updated by CARB’s Tribal Relations team, so be sure to check back for new opportunities and updates from CARB and reach out to tribal-affairs@arb.ca.gov if there are any questions.
CARB's Tribal Team will include relevant information on upcoming tribal-related events here so it is readily accessible to tribes that might be interested in participating.
Keep up to date with the latest information regarding tribal relations.
The information above is intended to provide tribes with information and does not create a contractual relationship or obligation, does not contain legal advice, and does not modify the terms of any law. CARB reserves the right to revise the website at any time.
