63 A P P E N D I X A An example of MOU between a tribe and state agencies is well documented in a South Dakota study (Quick and Bailey 2007). In the example, three parties are involved in the agreement, which are the tribe, South Dakota DOT, and SDDPS. This example intends to give a general idea about how an MOU for tribal crash reporting between a tribe and the state agencies is formatted and what basic information should be included. Exhibit A.1.
