Update: For information and questions about the listening sessions, please email the White House at GeneralTribalIGA@who.eop.gov.

The White House is inviting tribal leaders to Washington, D.C., for two listening sessions.

The sessions will take place August 31 at the White House. Each tribe can bring up to two persons.

"The purpose of the sessions is to bring together tribal leaders and White House officials to engage in an informal dialogue on the process of tribal consultation," Kim Teehee of the White House Domestic Policy Council wrote in a letter.

During the campaign, President Barack Obama promised to hold a yearly tribal summit. A date for the first one has not been announced.
