The primary service delivery methods used by the Office of Native American Affairs in American Indians, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian business communities including contractor-led workshops, roundtables, so-sponsorship agreements, interagency agreements, tribal consultations, development and distribution of promotional materials, and attendance and participation in national and regional economic development conferences.
