    Working with MOU Tribes

    University of Idaho values respectful, collaborative partnerships with the 11 Tribal Nations that are signatories to our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Each Tribe has its own unique history, governance structure, research protocols and cultural priorities. This page provides helpful information to guide researchers in engaging with MOU Tribes in ways that honor Tribal sovereignty and promote meaningful, ethical collaboration.

    Whether you're preparing a research proposal, planning a project or seeking to build new partnerships, this resource is designed to support your work and help foster strong, trust-based relationships with Tribal communities.
