Culture Committee to approve the OSPI Language

Certification for Monique Bourgeau in the nsəlxcin

language. Chairman or Designee authorized to sign all

pertinent documents.

Culture Committee that the History/Archaeology Program

draft a list of culturally appropriate mitigations for

consideration if and when necessary to mitigate adverse

impacts to 45DO400 and associated cultural objects and

features at the Waste Management Inc., East Wenatchee

Landfill. The list will provide enough information for

Council to understand what mitigations are being suggested,

the vicinity where such mitigations might apply, and a rough

estimate of investment cost to accomplish a particular

mitigation. These proposed mitigations are only

recommendations for the use of the Colville Business

Council. Once drafted, the recommended mitigations will be

reviewed by the Colville Business Council, the Wenatchi

Advisory Group, and the Office of the Reservation

Attorney. Any ultimate decisions reside with the Colville

Business Council. Work funded within current approved

budgets. Chairman or Designee authorized to sign all

documents.

Culture Committee to perpetually protect the petroglyph site

45CH252 near Malaga, WA. The current landowners, Alco

and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources

(DNR), have not volunteered to purchase or donate the

45CH252 lands directly to the Confederated Tribes of the

Colville Reservation. One obstacle is that at least one other

tribe has similar interests. Therefore, The Colville Business

Council authorizes History/Archaeology to pursue all

potential buyers/managers to acquire the property to then be

held as conservation lands never to be developed.

Individually or as a group, such buyers might include state,

federal and private agencies, land trusts, and land

conservancies. Council will be updated on potential buyers.

Serious purchasers will meet with Council and may be

directed to work with other staff more knowledgeable in

such matters. Any ultimate decisions reside with the Colville

Business Council. Work funded within current approved

budgets. Chairman or Designee authorized to sign all

documents.

Culture and Employment Committees to approve the

purchase of a Database from Tribal-D for the TERO

Program. This Database is specifically for Tribal TERO

Programs. The Database will assist in client interaction,

the ongoing federal government shutdown; and

WHEREAS, although the Department has stated that no

staff will be separated before the 60-day transition period

and that the program will remain under its current

leadership, these staff reductions threaten to disrupt the

administration of a program essential to more than 1,000

federally impacted school districts nationwide; and

WHEREAS, the Impact Aid program's success depends on a

stable, experienced and adequately staffed federal team to

process applications, provide technical assistance, and

ensure timely payments to school districts; and

Management & Budget Committee to submit the attached

resolution to the National Congress of American Indians

(NCAI) for annual convention 2025. Resolution is a call for

action regarding the Washington State Broadband Office

(WSBO), Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment

program (BEAD) and their policy on the application process

and consent on Colville Tribal Lands.

"Protecting the Digital Sovereignty and Broadband SelfDetermination of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville

Reservation and All Tribal Nations"

Sponsor: Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation

Date: November 12, 2025

Location: NCAI Annual Convention - Seattle, Washington

WHEREAS, the National Congress of American Indians

(NCAI) has long affirmed that Tribal sovereignty extends to

the management and governance of all resources within

Tribal jurisdictions, including digital infrastructure, data,

and spectrum; [1] and

WHEREAS, the federal government, through the National

Telecommunications and Information Administration

(NTIA), bears a trust responsibility to uphold Tribal

sovereignty and ensure equitable participation in federal

broadband programs, including the Broadband Equity,

Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program; [2] and

WHEREAS, NTIA's delegation of BEAD program

administration to States has led to inconsistent consultation

practices and, in some cases, violations of the federal trust

obligation to Tribes; [3] and

WHEREAS, the Washington State Broadband Office

(WSBO) took positive steps to uphold Tribal sovereignty by

establishing a rule requiring a Tribal Resolution of Consent

for all BEAD proposals affecting Tribal lands; [4] and

WHEREAS, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville

Reservation submitted its own BEAD application for a

fiber-first build that represents the most fiscally sustainable

and scalable broadband solution for its citizens, and issued

no resolutions of consent for any external BEAD applicants;

and

WHEREAS, despite WSBO's preliminary approval of the

Colville application, NTIA subsequently denied the Tribes'

proposal and appears to have accepted alternative applicants

who failed to obtain Tribal consent, thereby bypassing

sovereign authority and setting a dangerous national

precedent; [5] and

WHEREAS, recent NTIA communications suggesting that

Tribes "will have no choice" but to accept third-party or

satellite service providers such as Starlink on their lands

constitute an egregious breach of Tribal sovereignty and

self-determination; [6] and

WHEREAS, digital sovereignty is inseparable from Tribal

sovereignty - it is the inherent right of Tribal Nations to

govern the infrastructure technologies, and data that connect

their citizens and institutions; [7]

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the National

Congress of American Indians (NCAI) calls upon the NTIA

and U.S. Department of Commerce to:

1. Immediately suspend any BEAD approvals on Tribal

lands where no Tribal Resolution of Consent has been

granted; [8]

2. Uphold and enforce the principle that Tribal Consent is

mandatory for all broadband infrastructure projects

proposed on or through Tribal lands; [9]

3. Engage in formal nation-to-nation consultation with the

Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and

similarly affected Tribes to resolve BEAD application

denials inconsistent with the trust obligation; [10]

4. Recognize the Tribal Right of First Refusal to construct,

own, and operate broadband networks within their

jurisdictional boundaries; [11] and

5. Establish a federal-level Tribal Digital Sovereignty

Compact ensuring future programs cannot delegate trust

responsibilities to State agencies without explicit written

Tribal consent; [12]

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that NCAI affirms that

digital sovereignty is inherent sovereignty, encompassing

governing Tribal Nation.

WHEREAS, the shortage of adequate housing also limits the

CTCR' ability to recruit and retain essential to the health and

prosperity of the community; and

WHEREAS, while the Colville Indian Housing Authority

and the Cedar Fund have made meaningful progress, both

continue to face barriers due to restrictive policies,

insufficient funding flexibility, and/or limited coordination

across departments; and

WHEREAS, community members continue to experience

systemic barriers to home ownership and housing assess due

to land status restrictions, outdated eligibility rules, high

construction costs, and gaps between income levels and

program requirements; and

WHEREAS, current federal and state funding streams

remain inadequate to address the magnitude of the crisis,

and traditional approaches alone will not resolve the urgent

housing needs of the Colville people and our community;

and

WHEREAS, housing is foundational to the sovereignty,

health, safety, and cultural strength of the Colville Nation,

and immediate coordinated action is required to prevent

further harm to individuals, families, and future generations;

and

WHEREAS, it is therefore necessary and appropriate to

declare a State of Emergency for Housing and to establish a

coordinated Emergency Housing Response Team to identify

and remove barriers, streamline housing development, and

return actionable recommendations to the Colville Business

Council.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the

Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation hereby

declares a State of Emergency for Housing, recognizing that

the ongoing shortage of adequate housing constitutes a

direct and immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare

of the Colville people; and

THEREFORE, an Emergency Housing Response Team

(EHRT) is hereby established under the direction of the

Chairman of the Colville Business Council to coordinate

emergency actions, recommend policy changes, and bring

forward a comprehensive plan to address the housing crisis;

and

THEREFORE, the Emergency Housing Response Team

shall, within 60 days of this declaration, bring forward to the

CBC a coordinated Emergency Housing Action Plan that

includes: recommendations to relax or amend restrictive

policies; a list of regulatory and procedural barriers and

proposed solutions; strategies for rapid development;

identification of funding sources; and a framework for

ongoing implementation; and

THEREFORE, the Colville Business Council authorizes the

Chairman and Executive Director to coordinate resources,

reallocate funding where appropriate, and take any lawful

actions necessary to support emergency housing efforts

during this declared emergency period; and

THEREFORE, all tribal departments, enterprises, and

programs are directed to cooperate fully with the Emergency

Housing Response Team, to share data, align resources, and

implement coordinated solutions; and

THEREFORE, this declaration shall remain in effect until

formally rescinded by resolution of the Colville Business

Council or until such time as the housing crisis has been
