We build tech for Tribal Sovereignty.

What is Corral?

Corral is a free online platform that helps Tribal leaders and Native advocates easily find and track Tribal Consultation opportunities in one place.

Tribal leaders shouldn't have to spend time tracking down information on government-to-government consultations that impact their communities.

Too often, the process is unclear, the timing is off, or the information is buried. That’s why a group of researchers, students, and volunteers came together to build Corral—a free, searchable tool to surface Tribal Consultation opportunities from across the federal government.

With Corral, tribal leaders can:

Track upcoming consultations in one place
Search by region or topic
Avoid overlapping meetings
Access past opportunities for context
It’s small, open-source, and built with care

Corral makes it easier for tribes to track and search Tribal Consultation opportunities by date, agency, policy area, invited tribe(s), and more—saving time and resources so tribal leaders can focus on running programs and shaping policy.

What is Tribal Consultation?

Tribal Consultation is a key part of how the federal government upholds its trust responsibility. This government-to-government process is designed to elevate tribal voices in rulemaking and incorporate Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to make policies more durable and responsive to Native communities.

Federal agencies issue thousands of proposed rules each year to implement policies passed by Congress. Since 2000, they’ve been required to determine whether Tribal Consultation is necessary—specifically, if a rule could significantly impact tribes or tribal lands—and, if so, engage with tribes outside the standard public comment process. This allows tribes to influence the final federal rules that directly impact our communities.

Test Corral!

We’re looking for partners to test out Corral during our pilot test in 2025:

Tribal Leaders:

Are you a Tribal leader or staff member asked to review federal policies? Corral is built for you. Sign up below to test it later this year.

Native-led Professional Associations:

Do you work with a Native-led association or trade group? We want to support your efforts and help you do more. Many leaders hear about Consultations through you. Let’s make it easier.

Law Firms:

Are you a lawyer or firm serving Tribal Nation clients? We’d love to learn from you. Tell us how you help clients get ready for Tribal Consultations.

U.S. Government Staff:
Partner with us to make Tribal Consultations easier to share and schedule. We’re especially prioritizing Tribal Liaisons and regulatory staff connections at this phase.
