On April 29, 1994, President Clinton reaffirmed several responsibilities of federal agencies with Executive Order 13175. The executive order stated that each federal agency must ensure that the agency operates within a government-to-government relationship with federally-recognized tribes. In addition, agencies should consult with tribal governments, to the greatest extent possible and permitted by law, before taking actions that affect tribal lands, resources and people.",
