states. That would solve a lot. Could it be done.
Laidlaw - Secretary of the Interior already said that. People who deal with
tribes do not know how to do so. Most solutions are between tribes and
local/regional agencies. Academics go for it too.
Kintigh - Some out there don’t care. Its our problem, we’ll deal with it.
Agencies not want to go out collect information. Do not want to go outside for
information to help solve problems.
Ferguson - Have tribes do map, sounds simple but would take in-house
collaboration. Perhaps could go for funding for this.
Mills - Whats on paper too general, and perhaps old.
Dongoske - Do another workshop, with same people plus others.
Pilles - Always sounds good, practical? One on one personal view, lets do
lunch approach.
Dongoske - With UNLV. workshop.
Laidlaw -
Kintigh -
Mills - Do through the regular AAC Meetings. Get more people there.
Reid - Not like the old days where archaeologists went there, learned by hand.
Times changed we have to go to their landscape.
Jackson - Important to have Native American involvement, small forum, local
level, informal, intimate, inexpensive. Helpful at this level. Some of what
happens is detrimental to their culture. Nothing confidential to a Federal
agency. Do need tribal representatives at these meetings.
Jenkins - Way for tribes to do some part of the training. For next session.
Also personal concepts like death & dying need to be discussed as its a whole
package. Organize something where tribes share some of their perspectives on
life.
Lane - When came on with tribe. Policy catered to federal regulations. Just
comply with laws. Came on to deal with NAGPRA. Define own identifications as
sacred, whats Navajo. Came up with burial policy. Up for review now with upper
Navajo committees, then with tribal council. Gave it a real Navajo
perspective. Did not differentiate between funerary and non-funerary objects.
All put together. Did what was culturally right! Left the laws out! Do
