Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle (D) signed a series of policies on Tuesday requiring 12 state agencies to consult the 11 federally recognized tribes.
The goal is to resolve policy disputes, improve state-tribal relations and correct for past problems, Doyle said. He was joined at the signing ceremony by representatives of all the tribes.
A year after taking office, Doyle in January 2004 issued a tribal consultation executive order. The 12 state cabinet agencies then worked with the tribes to develop agency-specific policies.
