Native American Liaison

Welcome

Priscilla Caverly

HSD’s Native American Liaison serves as key staff on state-tribal issues for the Department and assists in formalizing the Department’s government-to-government relations. She works in partnership with the Native American Liaisons in the other Health and Human Services Departments and with the Indian Affairs Department.

Ms. Caverly leads the Department’s efforts to achieve the goals and objectives of HSD’s Native American Initiative by working with tribal health and human services staff to address Native American issues across multiple state and federal program areas. Through outreach and communication regarding HSD programs and services, she addresses tribal concerns and gathers input on developing solutions. To more effectively achieve the Department’s goals in this area, Ms. Caverly develops training in cultural awareness and sensitivity for HSD staff to enhance their work with Tribal Governments.
