From: Diane Hunter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 12:16 PM To: Greep, Anthony (FTA) Subject: Meera UP-W Third Mainline, Eastern Section, Cook County, IL Dear Mr. Greep: Aya, kikwehsitoole. My name is Diane Hunter, and I am the Acting Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Federally Recognized Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. In this capacity, I am the Miami Tribe’s point of contact for all Section 106 issues. 1 The Miami Tribe offers no objection to the above‐mentioned project at this time, as we are not currently aware of existing documentation directly linking a specific Miami cultural or historic site to the project site. However, as this site is within the aboriginal homelands of the Miami Tribe, if any human remains or Native American cultural items falling under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) or archaeological evidence is discovered during any phase of this project, the Miami Tribe requests immediate consultation with the entity of jurisdiction for the location of discovery. In such a case, please contact me at 918‐541‐8966, by email at [email protected], or by mail at the address listed below to initiate consultation. The Miami Tribe accepts the invitation to be a consulting party to the proposed project. In my capacity as Acting Tribal Historic Preservation Officer I am the point of contact for consultation.
