Hawk B
Norena Henry, Native American Program Officer, Community Capacity Development Office, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice
Theodore Jojola, Regent’s Professor, School of Architecture and Planning, University of New Mexico
This session will provide an overview of Indigenous Planning. Indigenous Planning is a new and emerging paradigm among planners that practice on tribal lands.
What distinguishes it from mainstream applications, such as comprehensive planning, is its reformulation of this approach in a manner that incorporates "traditional"
knowledge and cultural identity. In addition to basic planning land-use tools, indigenous planning also incorporates concepts that are based on values associated
with land tenure. Participants will learn about the role of planning in tribal community development, historical experiences by federal and state agencies to assist
tribes in planning, and be introduced to some case studies in Indian Country. They will also learn about new ways to incorporate indigenous planning techniques and
principles into current federal and tribal initiatives.

Hawk C
This workshop will discuss how the gathering of statistics on crime and the administration of justice in Indian Country and improving tribal data systems will enable
tribal jurisdictions to better manage justice resources, develop crime prevention programs and participate in national information systems. The Tribal Criminal
History Record Improvement Program (T-CHRIP) was created to improve public safety in Indian Country by enhancing the quality, completeness, and accessibility
of criminal history record information and by facilitating the implementation of criminal justice and non-criminal justice background check systems. Preliminary
program results, as well as the proposed FY 2008 announcement and its objectives will be discussed in this session. This workshop will also explore Tribal
Criminal History Records; cultural approaches to tribal records; types of records (e.g. fingerprint, domestic violence, sex offender); and Justice Information System
Management. The American Indian Development Associates will discuss a multi-jurisdictional approach and development of tribal and State cooperative

Steven W. Perry, Statistician, Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice
William S. Gregory, Prosecutor, Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians
Destin Richter, Consultant, Aventure Technology
Hawk C
The Tribal Criminal History Record Improvement Program (T-CHRIP) was created to improve public safety in Indian Country by enhancing the quality,
completeness, and accessibility of criminal history record information and by facilitating the implementation of criminal justice and non-criminal justice background
check systems. Preliminary program results from the T-CHRIP grants, as well as the proposed FY 2008 announcement and objectives will be discussed in this
session. In 2004, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (LTBB) received a T-CHRIP grant. Like most, Michigan tribes do not share their criminal
history records with other tribes or with the State of Michigan. A glaring deficiency in the current state of affairs in Indian Country is the inability of local tribal law
enforcement officials to learn about an Indian suspect’s criminal history on other Indian reservations. The immediate problem encountered in visiting the various
tribes was the lack of adequate databases in most tribal courts: domestic violence, sex offenders, and firearm background checks. In 2007 the LTBB received a third
T-CHRIP grant for the purchase of Live Scan finger print machines for all Michigan tribes who currently lack these machines.
The various types of tribal court databases that have been created for Michigan tribes will also be discussed during this workshop.

opportunities will be included in the presentation.

feedback and additional ideas and input from workshop attendees. The results of this session will be shared with BJA, BIA and all workshop attendees.

Indian Country Methamphetamine Initiative
Wolf C
Trudy Anderson, National Project Coordinator, Indian Country Methamphetamine Initiative
The Department of Health and Human Services sponsored the Indian Country Methamphetamine Initiative (ICMI) in direct response to regional and national Tribal
Consultation sessions. Methamphetamine was voiced by Tribes nationwide as a high priority needing to be addressed promptly. The DHHS – Office of Minority
Health launched the Indian Country Methamphetamine Initiative at the National Congress of American Indians annual conference, October 2006. The Navajo
Nation, Eastern Band of Choctaw Indians, Winnebago Tribe, Crow Tribe, and Northern Arapaho Tribes were the first demonstration projects identified to begin a
three-year endeavor to highlight their activities. Tribes will identify what works in their projects, what lessons were learned in the implementation, and how it can
be easily replicated in other Tribal communities. United Southern and Eastern Tribes, Inc. and Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board were identified to
create a survey tool to collect baseline data much needed throughout Indian Country regarding Methamphetamine use and the social fallout related to its usage. One
Sky Center, Inc., and the National Congress of American Indians were identified to provide technical assistance, create a Tribal Meth Toolkit, and a media
campaign. This Workshop will focus on the Tribal activities in Year 1 of the Indian Country Methamphetamine Initiative.
