get something hammered out.
Kintigh - Agencies by in large have funding. Tribes do not.
Pilles - A lot of federal agencies put tribes in consulting similar to the
general public. Deal with tribes like they would the Sierra Club! Actually
dealing with another government agency!
Kintigh - Informed people need to know that there are different world views,
and those need to be taken into consideration. This is hard to follow through
consultations if don’t consider such.
Lane - Navajo Nation Hist. Pres. Dept. Large group with small sections within.
Roads section does get some funding, and its this group that handles
consultation (4-5 people depending section of reservation). Consult Director
Allen Downer. There are other sections, Lane deals with repatriation. Only 2-3
people here. No funds for a preservation officer in this group. New at
repatriation. Have had agencies in UT, CO, & NM consult. Have a programmatic
agreement willing to share.
Anyon - NM SHPO adamant about consultation. More formal agreements on what to
do. Navajo Nation has a good agreement and is a step in the right direction.
Part of Roads.
BREAK (10:45-11:00)
Passed around markers and name tags.
For rest of morning continue as we have been doing. Then list issues and how
to fit into the process.
Kintigh - Role of archaeologist doing research has no role for consultation.
Who to contact is still a problem.
Jenkins - Jurisdiction. Federal job on tribal lands, then it tribal
jurisdiction. Can have far flung inter-tribal interests.
Dongoske - When a tribe voices concern of a significant property. Where is
degree of significance (National Register, or Tribal treasure) and to whom.
Rosenberg - If have traditional or significant site in an area to be developed
what happens?
Lambert -
Pilles - Following 106 which does set up register sites, tribes not included.
