Agreements

Various agreements lay the groundwork for Tribes to achieve parity with the Corps of Engineers on issues directly affecting important historic, cultural, and natural resources. Agreements are limited in scope to the application and enforcement of historic preservation and protection laws, but provide the opportunity to develop a dialogue and forum for the various Indigenous Nations and Federal agencies to begin addressing resources considered sacred or important by Indigenous Peoples.

It is an attempt to overcome barriers keeping worshippers from areas and resources that are essential to their continuing ability to carry out traditional worship pursuits.
