·    Utilize cost-share programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives and Wildlife Habitat Improvement Programs.

·    Make wise management decisions based on analysis of the best available scientific data and traditional knowledge;

·    Conserve and improve the natural resources of tribal lands for cultural and ceremonial purposes for future generations

·    Improve program coordination and implementation between tribal departments responsible for resource management and tribal members who utilize the natural resources;

·    Promote coordinated partnerships with external resource management agencies and consultants;

·    Provide a well documented plan to pursue needed funding to implement tribal resource priorities.
