Tribal Relations
In collaboration with other Caltrans districts, divisions, and Tribal Relations staff, the Tribal Affairs Office helps to support consultation and coordination between Caltrans and California’s tribal nations and Native American community members. As part of that process, the Tribal Affairs Office maintains tribal relations information to improve communication and successful project planning, including:
- CA Native American tribe information
- Native American tribal contacts
- Caltrans Tribal Relations staff contacts
- Tribal lands maps
