Purpose:
This course provides students with a broad-based understanding of the character and quality of cultural resources, a working knowledge of the identification and assessment procedures applied to those resources, and a review of tribal policy principles that impact agency cultural resources management. The course is designed for planners, environmental resources managers, student managers, project managers, and others who will participate in the management of cultural resources and interact with Indian tribes.

This course gives special consideration to the procedural requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA and the interrelationships of the agency, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the State Historic Preservation Office, and officials of Indian tribes. The program also offers an overview of the nature of Corps relations with Indian tribes including an understanding of the Trust relationship, government-to-government relations, treatment of Native American human remains and associated objects and Indian access to sacred sites.
