The following stories, shared by NAWPA member agencies, illustrate a diversity of approaches to collaboration among Indigenous organizations and communities and federal land managers that maximize the management of public lands. Collectively, they offer a framework within which we can create a better future, one in which we live with respect for nature and each other, and understand that all is inextricably linked. We will continue to identify new models as they emerge through such collaborative processes, adapting and learning from them in our ongoing attempt to respect and preserve our shared natural heritage.
