The government is falling short on consultation with tribes on major infrastructure projects. That’s according to a recent U.S. Government Accountability Office report.

Federal agencies have complaints of their own, including a lack of accurate tribal contact information and poor coordination when multiple federal agencies are involved. We’ll get a run-down of what’s in the report and talk about recommendations for improvement.
