Strong yet flexible partnerships can transform Tribal brownfields projects into powerful opportunities for community revitalization, environmental stewardship, and long-term resilience. In this engaging panel session, Tribal representatives which may include: Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, Fort Peck Tribes, Kiowa Tribe, Pueblo of Santa Ana, and Tribal TAB will share real-world examples of collaboration that led to meaningful outcomes for Tribal communities. Through project stories, lessons learned, and open discussion, participants will hear how Tribes have worked with Tribal TAB to overcome challenges, build program capacity, strengthen community engagement, secure resources, and move redevelopment projects forward. Panelists will highlight practical strategies, creative problem-solving, and approaches that other Tribal programs can adapt to their own work.
