If a project falls within a tribe's consultation area, that tribe should be included in any consultation efforts.

This data set is a first step to assessing a tribe's interest in government-to-government consultation on WSDOT projects. The majority of tribes provided a map to cover both natural and cultural resources consultation. However, a few tribes provided multiple maps that designate different areas for natural and cultural resources consultation. Other tribes provided multiple maps to designate priority areas for consultation. For example, one tribe provided three maps: the reservation, ceded territory and Usual and Accustomed Areas.
