Tribal Research Resources

The EPA Tribal Portal was created as a gateway to EPA environmental information specifically related to tribal governments, such as environmental policies, practices and laws.

Tribal Science Priorities - TEK 
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is the accumulated knowledge American Indians and Native Alaskans have about their environment. It's important for scientific research, but is threatened by environmental change. EPA is working with Tribal and Native Alaskan communities to incorporate TEK into environmental science, policy, and decision-making.
