    Dec 19, 2019

    Kirk Crow Shoe, American Indian Liaison|Dec 19, 2019

The order mandated, in part, that Minnesota state agencies maintain ongoing consultation with tribes. DEED began our in-person consultations with tribal nations this fall and will continue consultations into 2020. One of our first...
