Brunson - So many sites hard to not impact. Avoid if can, but can’t always.
Downum - Not fair. What is the fairness?
Anyon - Looking for equitableness, fairness when dealing with tribes.
Dongoske - Fairness. Tribes know some sites will go.
Pilles - Consultation needed 5-10 years down the line- Early consult then.
Downum - At early stages can better plan. Talk about where to put project.
Rosenberg - At time when have a 5 year plan. Can consult ahead. If general map
of sensitive area can then deal. Want to do the right thing. May have to
compromise.
Pilles - If part of a process, and involved with tribes, then know.
Downum - Perceived as an engineering problem/process.
Rosenberg - Others not involved, they should know.
Dongoske - Create a document, with people involved. Forum for publishing
“white” papers. SAA Bulletin, Occasional Papers in Anthropology, Federal
Archaeology Report. Do want to get word out. Also transcript of proceedings
for all involved. Like the Arley House Report. Identify action items for
participants to work on over next 6-12 months. Want flavor of meetings to
continue on.
Jenkins - Some depends upon how tribes take initiative in discussions. Get in
there set policy, initiatives taken. Communicate ideas. Get at things at
engineering level.
Anyon - Revise project plans as necessary.
CONFIDENTIALTY
Pilles - Agencies need to develop statement as to who uses files. Defining
information as sensitive and restrictive (who maintains access).
Laidlaw - Who maintains data, who has access. Some information okay, others
not. Site records protected. Now this data is in the mill for confidentiality!
Ethnographic data not included. Clear issue with both tribes and agencies and
private.
Ferguson - How do we do this?
Laidlaw - These proceedings could send word to Congressional Committee.
