The Shawnee Tribe Environment and Natural Resources Department was established in 2002 with the award of its first General Assistance Program (GAP) grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Over the past 12 years, the tribe has focused on environmental education through numerous outreach projects. The department’s mission is to understand, protect, manage, and restore the natural environment of the Tribe and its members, with an abiding respect for the Shawnee traditional culture.
