Tribal Consultation

To improve communication and consideration of the needs of tribes, Governor Edmund "Jerry" Brown issued Executive Order (EO) B-10-11 in 2011, which established the Governor's Office of the Tribal Advisor and required all state agencies and departments to encourage early consideration, communication, and consultation with tribes when developing legislation, guidelines, regulations, rules, or policies on matters that affect tribes and their communities.

In 2019, Governor Gavin C. Newsom issued EO N-15-19, which reaffirmed the previous executive order and added a formal apology to California Native Americans for atrocities committed by the state against Native Americans during early statehood. This marked a major step forward in California's commitment to acknowledge past wrongdoings and build relationships with tribes.
