In partnership with California Native American tribes,
the California Natural Resources Agency has developed a goal of expanding tribal stewardship over at least 7.5 million acres of lands and coastal waters.

The Tribal Stewardship Policy and Toolkit will provide policy and resources to institutionalize durable tribal-state partnerships
and to advance durable tribal access, collaboration, and ancestral land return across California.

The Tribal Stewardship Policy will provide standard practices to advance these partnerships in the implementation of each department’s respective missions, regulations, policies, and programs.
On this website, you can explore the Policy, its appendices, and can begin navigating Toolkit entries,
which feature webinars, templates, case studies, and other resources.
