Brunson - Closure so projects can proceed, closure on step procedures.
Kintigh - Part on who, as who’s helping out. Not same people all the way down
the line are involved.
Pilles - Informed management.
Mills - Indication of tribal boundaries of interest.
Pilles - Useful information.
Canouts - Understanding of what kind of paperwork follows. Disposition of data
along the process line.
Dongoske - Identify areas of concern; as seen from federal and/or tribal
perspectives. How to assess impacts from both sides. No process in hand to
deal with conflict resolution. None.
Laidlaw - Not a consistent process, nor agreements between tribes.
Kintigh - Documentation of process for al parties.
Downum - If a problem (legal) there is documentation to back it up.
Brunson - Not only differences within agencies, but within tribes too.
Pilles - Agreed earlier that it would be case by case, tribe by tribe.
Jackson - Agencies let tribe know whats up. Concern with archaeological sites,
not want sites mitigated, but it goes anyway. Where are these concerns met.
Anyon - What conditions can a project go forward with tribal concerns. Agency
goes with motions, but not care about tribal concerns/beliefs. Tribe says no,
but project goes through.
Jenkins - No protection of archaeological sites under any law. That is the
reality of the thing. Tribes unfortunately not have final call. This is bottom
line, agencies do what they want. Gone this far to see what really mean by
consultation. Agreement that is sensitive to tribal beliefs/needs.
Rice - Historic sites protected for Anglos. Archaeological sites can be
mitigated. Not aware how important each archaeological site is to Native
Americans.
Dongoske - Refer to them as traditional cultural properties. Can be
significant without being in use for long periods of time. Burials at site are
spiritual stewards there. Archaeologists carry out wishes of agencies.
