Native American Consultation Database The Native American Consultation Database (NACD) is a tool for identifying consultation contacts for Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. The database is not a comprehensive source of information, but it does provide a starting point for the consultation process by identifying tribal leaders and NAGPRA contacts. To ensure that all appropriate Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations are involved in the consultation process, users should also investigate other sources of information, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs; Federal, state, and local governmental agencies involved in Native American issues; national, regional and local archives; and additional resources on the National NAGPRA Website. First time users are strongly advised to read the supporting documentation, which provides information about the content and format of the reports generated through a search, and information on the authorities for the source data in the NACD. The Native American Consultation Database is updated periodically with contact information received from Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, and from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. To change your contact information as it appears in the NACD, send a letter with an updated contact information to the National NAGPRA Program. The letter must be on tribal letterhead and signed by an authorized tribal official. It may be scanned and emailed to nagpra_info@nps.gov. Remember to use the wildcard symbol -- % -- to help target your search. LAST UPDATED: Dec 2016 The National NAGPRA Program coordinates the regular update of the information in and the development of new features for the Native American Consultation Database.
