Land Management Plan - Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy

Land Management Plan Part 2
Los Padres National Forest Strategy
Tribal 1 - Traditional and Contemporary Uses
September 2005
Allow traditional uses, and access to traditionally used areas (as well as contemporary uses and
needs) to tribal and other Native American interests:
• Protect, conserve, and restore traditionally used resources. Opportunities for traditional use of
the national forest and national forest resources are improved and provisions are made to
offer access to sites with cultural significance. Use opportunities during project planning
and
implementation to identify, enhance, and protect traditionally used resources.
• Maintain opportunities for spiritual solitude for tribal groups and individuals. Retain
the
character of traditional sites in conditions consistent with traditional cultural uses.
• Establish effective partnerships to address issues of mutual concern (plant material
propagation, etc.).
• Work collaboratively with tribes to determine appropriate locations and levels for gathering
traditional plant materials.
Tribal 2 - Government to Government Relations
Establish effective relationships with federally recognized tribes:
• Using the National Tribal Relations Strategy develop government-to-government protocols
with all recognized tribes and interested parties protocols for organized groups of local
Native Americans within this planning cycle.
• Promote collaborative partnerships for heritage resource management, ecosystem restoration,
comprehensive fire planning, and to recognize historic Native American access rights to land
areas and resources.
• Promote implementation of NAGPRA with local federally recognized tribes.
