  • 4.4 Cultural and Tribal Resources
    4.4 Cultural and Tribal Resources 4.4 CULTURAL AND TRIBAL RESOURCES This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) provides a summary of the cultural, historical, and paleontological resources located in SOI Plan Update area, the applicable federal, state, and local regulatory setting, and the analysis of the potential impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed SOI Plan for the City and specifically, the Consensus Alternative on cultural resources. This section also provides contextual background information on historical resources within the City and SOI Plan Update area including the area’s prehistoric, ethnographic, and historical settings. If needed, mitigation measures in addition to conformance with the LAFCo policies to address adverse impacts are included as needed. A cultural resource is the physical or observable traces of past human activity including, prehistoric habitation and activities, historic-era sites and materials, and places used for traditional Native American observances or places with special cultural significance. Cultural resources, along with prehistoric and historic human remains and associated grave goods, must be considered under various federal, state, and local regulations, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The following sources provided the data to support this section: • California Office of Historic Preservation (2019) • National Park Service (2017) • University of California Museum of Paleontology • Nevada City General Plan • Nevada County General Plan (1995) • Five Views, An Ethnic Historic Site Survey for California (1998) For the purposes of CEQA, “historical resources” generally refer to cultural resources that have been determined to be significant, either by eligibility for listing in State or local registers of historical resources, or by determination of a lead agency (see definitions below).

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) encompassed 4,306 acres, including the FERC Project Boundary and a 200-foot radius surrounding New Bullards Bar Reservoir. YCWA requested the State Historic Preservation Officer’s (SHPO) concurrence on the APE in a letter dated March 21, 2012, and received SHPO’s concurrence in a letter dated April 19, 2012, in accordance with 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section (§) 800. For relicensing of the Project, FERC designated YCWA as FERC’s non-federal representative for purposes of consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and the implementing regulations found in 36 CFR § 800.2(c)(4). YCWA conducted several consultation meetings with tribes and agencies beginning in 2009 and continuing into 2012. YCWA, tribes, and agencies collaboratively developed study proposals and selection of the TCP Study ethnographer, Albion Environmental, Inc. Invitations to participate in each meeting were sent to tribal representatives, FERC, SHPO, Plumas National Forest, and Tahoe National Forest. Most of these individuals and organizations participated in the meetings. On October 19, 2011, YCWA convened a meeting of tribal groups and agencies to introduce members of YCWA’s team, discuss the FERC-approved study, and to initiate field consultation with the tribes.

  • Northern California Indian Resistance to State and Corporate Water Development
    Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society Vol 7., No 1, 2018, pp. 174-198 Holding the Headwaters: Northern California Indian Resistance to State and Corporate Water Development Beth Rose Middleton-Manning University of California - Davis Morning Star Gali Bay Area Native Circle - Host Darcie Houck Lawyer Abstract In the context of historic and ongoing California Indian resistance to displacement at the headwaters of California’s immense State Water Project and federal Central Valley Project, we foreground Native land histories to unsettle the logic and perceived permanence of contemporary neocolonial water institutions. Centering California Indian voices on the histories and futures of the headwaters, we disrupt the imperial narrative of these waters and lands as American territories needing development and conservation, replacing it with the reality of these sites as Native Californian lands requiring restitution, protection, and recognition. Beginning with an overview of the history that led to the development of quasi-public projects on Native lands, we offer three case studies of Indigenous resistance and re-framing: the Winnemem Wintu struggle to stop the proposed raise of Shasta Dam; the Maidu Summit’s work to regain ownership of former Pacific Gas & Electric company lands established within their homeland; and the Pit River Tribe’s decades-long struggle to protect the sacred Medicine Lake Highlands from government-approved corporate exploitation of geothermal resources. Holding the Headwaters directly challenges embedded injustices in natural resource policymaking and offers alternative visions for a future that addresses historic injustices and centers California Indian relationships to place.
