Issue B (1, 2 & 3)

WHO - Agencies (general, i.e., State and Federal) initiate consultation. Encourage archaeologists and private developers to consult. Each agency/tribe should have a identified contact point (office). Laidlaw had wording on whos in charge. In California 123 tribes to deal with; in northwest there are 42 tribes. On tribal side more complex.

Anyon - Land managers is the district supervisor, send request goes down the line. Want government of government level of consultation. Then drop down to the actual people who know the issues. Can not do anything about signatory agent.

Kintigh - Desirable to have a specific person agency and tribe, who handles it, though that person may not be a signer.

Canouts - Multi-agency endeavors there is often a lead agency. That lead can change per project and collection of which agencies.

Kintigh - Multi-tribes, need lead, which tribe to consult for a given area. Helpful for each tribe to provide map of areas of expertise/interest. May do with help of archaeologist as boundaries change.

Canouts - Review process for this map.

Pilles - Perhaps agencies should fund for tribes.

Kintigh - Would be helpful to see which tribe claims what areas. This not to locate sacred sites. Just an area of interest. Could also help to outline/designate lead tribe.

Pilles - Others could be interested in this consultation ....

Jackson - Had an old map of tribal range, went to various agencies and copied map. One area not fully documented (far south). This presented to Tribal Council, well received, but not want information out. Names attached to sacred, significant areas. Not want to release that information. Do not want everyone out there looking around.
