UAIC Tribal Goals for Section 106
UAIC prepared this document to assist federal agencies, or agencies receiving federal funds, with “best practices” for Tribal Consultation with UAIC pursuant to Section 106 and other applicable laws and regulations. This document is intended to inform those conducting consultation with UAIC the importance of including Tribes, Tribal values, and knowledge into the decision-making process. UAIC strives to reach collaborative understandings that result in improved consideration for remaining significant cultural sites in California as worthy of preservation.
