National Training Center-Fort Irwin, California. Native American Consultation Meeting at Fort Mojave, Nevada, Held on 2-3 October 2003
Abstract
Many federal laws, regulations, and executive orders promulgated since 1990 specifically require consultation with Native American tribes when a federal agency makes decisions concerning cultural resources and traditional places. Consultation is founded on the Nation-to-Nation relationship between the United States and federally recognized tribes. To meet both the letter and the spirit of the law, the National Training Center-Fort Irwin, California, conducted a meeting as part of the agency's continuing consultation with tribal governments. The consultation meeting was hosted by the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, and held at the AVI Resort and Casino owned by tribe, on 2-3 October 2003. Sixteen tribes were invited to attend. Attendees presented and discussed (1) Comprehensive Agreements (CAs) with individual tribes having a cultural interest in the geographical region, (2) the ethnohistoric and ethnographic cultural affiliation study of the mid-Mojave region, (3) Fort Irwin-NTC Programmatic Agreements (PAs) with individual tribes having a cultural interest in the geographical region, and (4) proposed undertakings on Fort Irwin and the current and projected measures for protection/mitigation of cultural resources within these project areas. A transcript of the consultation meeting is included in this report.
