- Atkins urges members of tribal councils and partnership<br />

agencies to continue supporting cultural programs, not<br />

only financially, but always with the idea of preserving the<br />

future of unique indigenous peoples.<br />

- Atkins encourages all tribes to establish a cultural<br />

protection program. Don’t let this important task fall to an<br />

assistant that works in another program who doesn’t have a<br />

lot of time to dedicate to the protection of the culture and<br />

history of your tribe.<br />

- The in<strong>for</strong>mation in this article may give the impression<br />

that the process to establish a successful Cultural<br />

Department and Tribal Historic Preservation Program<br />

seems quick and easy, but as you can see, the success is<br />

owed to the many people that believed that it was<br />

important to the Wiyot people that the Tribe have a voice<br />

in protecting their culture and history.<br />

About the author: Marnie Atkins serves as the Cultural Director<br />

and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer <strong>for</strong> the Table Bluff<br />

Reservation - Wiyot Tribe. She is a tribal member and previously<br />

served on the tribal council. She presented this topic on October 11,<br />

2003 in Watsonville at the 18 th Annual Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Indian<br />

Conference, <strong>for</strong> the symposium “Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Tribal Programs in<br />

CRM” organized by SCA Native American Programs Committee<br />

Chairperson Janet Eidsness.<br />

New ACHP Web Page About Organization<br />

of the Office of Federal Agency Programs<br />

In response to a number of requests, the ACHP has<br />

developed an expanded discussion of the new organizational<br />

structure of the Office of Federal Agency Programs (OFAP)<br />

<strong>for</strong> our website (attached). Using a Frequently Asked<br />

Questions <strong>for</strong>mat, the web page provides in<strong>for</strong>mation on how<br />

our Section 106 work is delegated among the staff, how best<br />

to reach our staff, new services we are hoping to provide<br />

Section 106 users in the field, and in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding the<br />

role of our newly created Federal agency liaison positions.<br />

We hope this in<strong>for</strong>mation will make it easier <strong>for</strong> you to work<br />

with our office. Any questions or suggestions about how this<br />

website could be further improved would be welcome.<br />

SWAA 75th Annual Conference<br />

April 15, 16, 17, <strong>2004</strong><br />

Jan English-Lueck, President<br />

Southwestern Anthropological Association<br />

I would like to invite you to the 75th Jubilee meeting of<br />

the Southwestern Anthropological Association. SWAA is the<br />

oldest regional association in the West, and has gone from<br />

being a unit of the AAA to an independent organization<br />

consisting of professionals, academics and students from<br />

Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Over the<br />

years the organization has reinvented itself to serve the<br />

various constituencies of academic anthropology.<br />

Anthropology itself has changed. This year, the President-<br />

Elect, Margaret Graham of Santa Clara University, and I<br />

would like to extend our invitation to all anthropologists,<br />

whether they are faculty, graduate students, senior<br />

undergraduates, emeriti and alumni. We are eager to include<br />

anthropologists who are not employed in academia. We<br />

encourage you to pass this invitation on to other<br />

anthropologists who might be interested.<br />

San Jose State University’s Department of Anthropology<br />

is co-hosting, along with Santa Clara University, the 75th<br />

Annual Conference of the Southwestern Anthropological<br />

Association on April 15, 16, 17, <strong>2004</strong>. The conference theme<br />

is “Making it Work: Global and Local Applied
