• Abstract:
  This guide is for State and local officials plus non-government organizations and advocates interested in teaming up with Tribes to improve traffic safety through occupant protection, specifically seat belt use. It was collaboratively developed with representatives from Indian Country across the United States, including Tribes, nations, bands, villages, pueblos, missions, rancherias, as well as State and Federal transportation safety officials and Tribal liaisons. It is a framework to build understanding and trust between Tribes and officials they work with. It has an overview of sovereignty, Tribal land status, and Indigenous Knowledge and practices and their impact on laws, enforcement, partnerships, and data. It suggests designing funding mechanisms to better respond to the needs of the Tribes. It also includes an extensive resource section to broaden understanding of the topics covered.
