The National Tribal Air Association (NTAA) invites Tribes to
participate in a Baseline Needs Assessment of Tribal air quality
needs, issues and priorities.
A NOTE FROM NTAA CHAIRWOMAN CAROL KRIEBS:
On behalf of the NTAA’s Executive Committee and staff, we thank all
Tribes in advance for completing this Baseline Needs Assessment. Thank
you for taking time out of your busy day to contribute to NTAA’s
collective knowledge and information needed to fund Tribes’ unmet
needs to advance Tribal Air Quality Programs. Your BNA results will be
made public and you can request a copy of your answers. NTAA will be
providing the BNA results so that Tribes and members of the public can
better understand the unmet needs for all 573 federally recognized
Tribes and many other Tribal communities who work hard to bring clean
air for all and the future generations. Finally, we wish to express
our gratitude to the Partnership for Air Matters for their
professionalism and care with NTAA’s Executive Committee to release
this BNA today!
