Environmental Program
Welcome to the Kaw Nation Environmental Department.
The Kaw Nation Environmental Department was established in 1996 by the Kaw Nation to preserve, protect, and improve the quality of our natural resources for the benefit of the people of the Kaw Nation and their descendants. Our office is located at the west end of the Kaw Nation Administration Complex. We are available Monday through Friday to review your concerns or answer any questions.
