WASHINGTON – The Joint Tribal Leaders/DOI Task Force on Trust Reform will hold its next meeting on August 26-28, 2002 at the Hilton Anchorage Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska. At this meeting task force members will continue to look at reforming current trust management systems and processes to better serve American Indian and Alaska Native tribal and individual trust account beneficiaries.
The national task force was established in February of 2002 to review and propose plans for improving the Department’s management of individual Indian and tribal trust assets. On June 5, 2002, task force members presented a progress report to Secretary Gale Norton on their efforts to review and evaluate proposals for improving the Department’s management of Indian trust funds and assets. The report identified five options for trust management improvement by the Department along with comments and recommendations. The Department sent copies of the report to tribal leaders for review and comments as part of its on-going tribal consultation process on trust reform.
