Ask Beth Noveck a Question!

Numerous hydroelectric dams throughout the west severed the food supply, ceremonial practices and cultural lifeways of indigenous people throughout the the west coast. Many hydro facilities are being relicensed to PG&E for the next 50 years, yet *Native Voices, Stories and Inclusion* in the federal relicensing is not accessible to thousands of California tribal members.

Although we attempt to build transparency into the process, we as unrecognized tribes need help in using social networking tools to collect and distribute our stories to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and bureaucratic and elected decision makers.

What are actionable measures that can encourage collaboration with First Nation's leaders and Web2.0 Technologists to ensure transparency in public policy decisions.
