Governor Kelly Armstrong has inaugurated the seventh Government-to-Government (G2G) Conference at the Bismarck Event Center, focusing on strengthening ties with North Dakota's five tribal nations. The event, spanning two days, aims to foster collaboration among tribal, state, federal, and private industry leaders.
The conference is organized by the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission and includes participation from the state's five federally recognized tribal nations: Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (MHA) Nation; Spirit Lake Nation; Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians; and Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Nation.
"Events like this are key to providing education and fostering partnerships between tribal nations, state agencies and federal partners," said Armstrong. "We’re all North Dakotans. We share our challenges and we share our successes. Working together, we can strengthen relationships, enhance collaboration and increase understanding of tribal relations across all levels of government and industry."
Armstrong also announced his intention to visit each of the five tribal nations in North Dakota over the summer and fall months. His visits aim to understand each tribe’s challenges and opportunities better while discussing collaborative approaches to address key priorities.
The G2G conference will continue on Thursday with various breakout sessions covering topics pertinent to both the state and region.
