The Tribal Sovereignty Liaison and Education Project is one part
of the Tribal Sovereignty Plan of Action. It emphasizes the liaison
between Fourth World governments, and the development and
implementation of an Inter-Governmental conflict resolution
mechanism between Fourth World governments and states' governments.
Furthermore, it stresses monitoring the Convention on Biodiversity,
the World Trade Organization and the World Intellectual Property
Rights Organization in support of tribal governments to minimize or
eliminate this international agreement’s adverse affects on Treaty
Relations and other constructive arrangements between Indian nations
and the United States; and the provision of Leadership Training
through sovereignty workshops, intergovernmental seminars and
leadership forums.
