The 21st annual 21st Annual Government-to-Government Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation will be September 9 to 11, 2026 at the Tulalip Resort in Tulalip, Washington.
Grant making agencies in the U.S. Department of Justice and United States Attorney General, through OVW, is responsible for conducting an annual government-to-government consultation with leaders of Federally recognized Indian Tribal governments. This two day consultation will take recommendations from Indian country concerning administering tribal funds and programs; enhancing the safety of Indian women from domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, homicide and stalking; strengthening the federal response to such violent crimes; and improving access to local, regional, state, and federal crime information databases and criminal justice information systems.
This includes administering tribal funds and programs, promoting the safety of Native women from violence, strengthening the federal response to those violent crimes and improving access to databases and criminal justice systems. Organizations and tribes are urged to participate either through in person testimony or written testimony. Native Women’s Society of the Great Plains encourages membership to participate by soliciting their tribal leaders to give testimony or to submit written testimony. NWSGP will sponsor a tribal leader to give testimony and provide booth information.
National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center will be offering a webinar on OVW Government-To-Government Tribal Consultation Webinar Preparation on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 12 noon MST. This webinar will give tribal leaders, designated representatives, and advocates the space to reflect on and develop recommendations to guide federal agencies on administering Tribal funds and programs, strengthening the safety of Native women, improving the federal response to violence, and expanding Tribal access to criminal justice systems.
