A Tribal IRMP is a long-range, strategic level, comprehensive plan which integrates the management actions applied to a tribe's natural resources and other resources of value. It is a tribal policy document, based on the vision the tribe has for its resources. The IRMP describes the types of management activities which are to be undertaken by tribal and BIA resource management personnel, and serves as the umbrella plan under which all resource planning and management activities are conducted.
