laws of the State of Oregon. Currently, there are 60 ATNI member tribes from Alaska, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and California. ATNIs headquarters are located in Portland,
Oregon and a regional office in Spokane, Washington. ATNI is an organization [w]hose foundation is
composed of the people it is meant to serve, the Indian peoples.

ATNI purpose is to provide a forum for sharing information on matters of interest to its member
Tribes, develop consensus on matters of mutual importance, assist member Tribes in their
governmental and programmatic development consistent with their goals for self-determination and
self-sufficiency and provide for effective public relations and education programs with the non-Indian
communities, collaborate with governmental partners, industry, and other entities. ATNI has
extended this purpose to work with other tribal entities and inter-tribal organizations on issues of
common interest and alignment.

communities, and a venue to gather new ideas and information.

and commitment in making this event a success. Additionally, thank you to our
