The Walking on Common Ground Gathering of December 2008 followed the tradition of previous Gatherings, bringing together tribal, state and federal justice communities to continue a dialogue that began 30 years ago. At the heart of the Gathering was the same commitment and drive to improve cooperation, collaboration and communication between the three justice communities. The Gathering was an opportunity for respectful dialogue and conversations about concepts and challenges that tribal, state and federal justice communities confront as they try to provide appropriate services to their communities.
