UAIC Tribal Goals for Section 106 and AB52
UAIC prepared the documents below to assist agencies with “best practices” for Tribal Consultation with UAIC pursuant to Section 106 and AB52. These documents are intended to inform those conducting consultation with UAIC the importance of including Tribes, and Tribal values and knowledge, into the decision-making process. UAIC strives to reach collaborative understandings that result in improved consideration for the remaining significant cultural sites in California as worthy of preservation.
