<br />00522 <br /> <br />REVISED DRAFT (#10) - August 11,2004 <br />Clean Version <br /> <br />to proceed, perhaps because to do so would jeopardize the ongoing consultative <br />relationship between the agency and the tribe, In any matter in which a tribe has made <br />recommendations and the federal agency decision-maker has not accepted the tribc's <br />recommendations, the agency shalI advise the tribe that its recommendations have not <br />been accepted and provide reasons for rejecting such recommendations. <br /> <br />B. Goals and Expectations of Consultation <br /> <br />The federal agencies involved in the AMP and PAlHPP are welI aware of the <br />cultural and religious importance to the concerned Tribes of historic and cultural <br />resources within the Colorado River corridor, and the Tribes rightfulIy expcct that their <br />concerns wilI be taken seriously by these agencies. <br /> <br />(I) Adaptive Management Program <br /> <br />The Tribes expect that the agencies and organizations that are represented on the <br />AMWG and TWG will interact with tribal representatives in ways that reflect awareness <br />of the govemmental status of tribes and that demonstrate respect for traditional tribal <br />knowledge and religious beliefs. The Tribes expect that other stakeholders agencics and <br />organizations engaged in the AMP, AMWG and TWG will seek and consider tribal input <br />on the entire range of issues, not just cultural resources and not just formalIy recognized <br />traditional cultural properties. With respect to cultural resources and specifically the <br />subset of cultural resources legalIy defined as traditional cultural properties that are <br />eligible to the National Register, the Tribes expect that federal agency activities affecting <br />these resources will be carried out in accordance with the PA and HPP. The Tribes also <br />expect that other agencies and organizations will keep in mind that many places within <br />the Colorado River corridor are sites at which cultura1 resources are located but which <br />have not been documented as eligible traditional cultural properties such. In addition, the <br />Tribes regard the term "cultural resources" as including a broad range of places and <br />things, often including biological communities and geological features that have cultural <br />and/or religious significance, regardless of whether physical manifestations of human <br />activity are present at a place. Such places are resources of tribal concern, whether or not <br />they are may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as traditional cultural <br />properties. Such places may also be Sacred Sites subject to accommodation of tribal <br />religious practices under Executive Order 13007. The Tribes expect to be consulted about <br />proposed actions that might affect these places or resources. <br /> <br />[NOTE: Should we add a statement here on what others expect of the Tribes in <br />consultation, or is it enough to have a section later on the responsibilities of tribal <br />representatives?] <br /> <br />(2) Historic Preservation Plan <br /> <br />The Tribes expect that federal agency activities affecting cultural resources within <br />Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the Hualapai <br /> <br />13 <br />
