EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For decades, Native Americans have been disenfranchised from lands that they traditionally occupied. Years of disparate treatment have established barriers between the Native Americans and State government, making it difficult to establish and maintain good working relationships. In recent years, there has been more emphasis by the State of California (State) to develop better working relationships with California Indians. Most recently, there have been Legislative Resolutions set forth to recognize sovereignty, including one that “encourages” California department’s work be sensitive to Indian issues.

The Department of Water Resources’ (DWR) commitment to these efforts has been reflected by the establishment of a Native American Liaison under the official title of Government and Community Liaison and, also, by specifically addressing the inclusion of tribal community water concerns in the California Water Plan Update 2005. DWR will be incorporating new approaches to tribal government participation in the upcoming 2009 California Water Plan Update.

There continues to be a lack of participation by the Native American tribes. The Management Development Program –Team 3 (Team 3) consulted with DWR’s Native American Tribal Liaison to help determine areas of concern. It was found that the lack of participation may be a result of, not only decades of disparate treatments, but also the lack of awareness on behalf of both the Native American tribal governments and the Department. It is recognized that DWR has a need to establish a uniform way to provide effective outreach and awareness of DWR’s water programs, to the Native American tribes. There is also a need to continue to gain the trust of the Indian community which will ultimately serve to ease the way in which DWR goes about conducting its day to day operations. Additionally, DWR staff needs to be made aware of the department’s goals to work with Native Americans. Finally, establishment of formal protocols would assist DWR staff to effectively work with the Native American tribes.

The objective of this project was to gather information on how to better serve the needs of California’s tribal governments and communities. To accomplish this, a survey was developed by Team 3 to gather information about tribal water issues and communication desires in order to assist DWR toward improved communication and informal consultation. The results of the survey may be used to develop DWR and tribal communication protocols.

The survey (Appendix A) was developed by reviewing other surveys from other organizations. It consisted of 17 questions, most of which could be answered by checking a box. The survey was sent to both federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes or groups in California.

Of the 186 tribes contacted, 28 responses were received; a 15 percent response rate. Twenty-four of the respondents were federally recognized tribes and four were non- federally recognized. The higher response rate from the recognized tribes could be an indicator that recognized tribes have more resources and are more apt to participate in DWR managed programs. Further details of this survey are set forth in Section 2.0, Project Description.

This report, “Establishing Better Relationships with Native American Tribes in California,” includes Section 1.0, Introduction, which provides a brief overview of the disenfranchisement of Native Americans over the decades, and helps to explain the distrust and lack of participation by Native Americans. The Introduction further identifies federal and State actions that have further recognized the sovereignty of Native American tribes, and DWR’s roles and responsibilities as they relate to these rules. As noted above, Section 2.0, Project Description, describes the survey developed by Team 3, and the survey results. Established protocols by State and federal governments for consultation and coordination with Indian tribal governments are detailed in Section 3.0, Agency Protocols. These protocols can be used by DWR to assist in developing its own protocols.

Based on the information obtained from the survey, Team 3 identified in Section 4.0, Recommendations, ways in which DWR can communicate the benefits of DWR’s programs to all California communities, and assist in the development of protocols or standards by which DWR will work most efficiently with tribal governments and Native American communities.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 NATIVE AMERICAN DISENFRANCHISEMENT

Native Americans have been denied a voice or active participation in what eventually evolved to be the United States government since before this country became a nation. Although the federal government recognized tribes as sovereign nations early on, the indigenous peoples have generally been treated terribly over the centuries. The approach used by the federal government to manage tribes vacillated tremendously during the latter half of the nineteenth century and much of the twentieth century, alternately requiring tribes to live on reservations and then dissolving the Indian holdings and pushing for assimilation into mainstream culture.

It is estimated that, when the first Europeans arrived, over 300,000 people, representing 90 languages and several hundred dialects, lived within the boundaries of what became California (Moratto 1984). Colonization, virtual enslavement, disease and environmental degradation led to drastic decreases in the population such that only about 16,500 struggled to survive by 1900. During this time entire cultures and languages were lost, and many remaining tribes became fragmented. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) encouraged the restructuring of tribal communities and governments as a requisite for obtaining federal assistance in the 1930s and, again, in the 1970s. Those tribes that agreed to follow the BIA guidelines became “federally recognized” tribes. However, many tribes did not agree to the requirements for a variety of reasons, including fragmentation or a lack of organization, disagreement with the principal of having to follow prescribed guidelines that might run counter to a group’s traditions, and simply not receiving information about the availability of the BIA’s program. These tribes, the “non-federally recognized tribes”, essentially do not exist within the eyes of the federal government and far fewer federal assistance programs are available to them than to federally recognized tribes. This has been particularly true in California where many disarticulated tribes lacked the organization to even consider whether they wanted to participate in the federal restructuring of tribal communities.

Today 109 federally recognized and over 50 federally unrecognized indigenous tribes live in California. Since the 1970s, California’s federally recognized tribes have gained considerable political and economic power in the State, and, in turn, the State has developed some legislation to ensure that all tribes have a place in State government. Yet, the State has not developed clear protocols for how or when its agencies and departments should involve, interact, or communicate with Native Californians. As a result, numerous agencies, such as the California Department of Transportation and the Department of Forestry (see Section 3.0), have independently developed such guidelines and protocols.

The remainder of Section 1.0 briefly provides background information about the disenfranchisement of Native Americans, describes actions relevant to Indians by both the federal and State governments, and highlights the responsibilities of DWR to California Indian tribes.

1.2 BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

American Indians have been disenfranchised from lands that they traditionally occupied since the arrival of the first Europeans to North America. Tribal communities in the eastern United States experienced a slow exposure to European culture and disease over decades of colonization. Indian tribes in California were initially exposed to a similar experience during the earliest encounters with Europeans in the 1500s and 1600s. The lives and cultures of the Native California tribes in the southern coastal reaches of the State were abruptly altered with the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the mid-1700s. Franciscan padres established the first of 21 coastal missions in 1769. They were accompanied by the members of the Spanish military, who were tasked with intimidating the native population and to round them up into what were essentially labor camps for the missions. The padres’ focus was to convert the Indians to Christianity and a farming lifestyle. In a pattern that was to be repeated many times over, the environment was severely modified and large portions of the Indian population died because they had no resistance to newly encountered diseases. Ostensibly, the mission lands were to be turned over to the Indian communities after 10 years; the ideal being that the Native Californians would be “civilized” farmers within that time. In reality, no formal transfers of land were ever made.

The disruption of the many California indigenous communities and cultures accelerated as missions moved north under Spanish, and then Mexican, rule, and vast tracts of land were granted to favored supporters or family members. This was exacerbated by the arrival of North American fur trappers who pushed northward through the State toward the Northwest Territories. Native Californians living on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and in the adjacent foothills in northern California suffered, perhaps, the greatest and most abrupt impact to their cultures after the discovery of gold in 1848. The tremendous influx of people from all over the world into California during the Gold Rush years is legendary, and dwindling native populations that had escaped the initial impact of Spanish missionization, Mexican colonization and the accompanying diseases found their lives and livelihoods virtually annihilated due to the sheer numbers of people moving into the region and the concomitant devastation of the environment by mining activities, ranching, and clear-cut lumbering.

Native populations throughout the State attempted to resist the colonizers, but the weakened communities were at a severe disadvantage and were unable to defend their territorial lands. At the same time, colonizers became increasingly intolerant of the Indians since their presence was interpreted as a barrier to EuroAmerican expansion. Reports about bands of vigilantes that rounded up and massacred large numbers of

1-2 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program indigenous peoples became common. The attitude of the State at that time towards Indians was reflected in the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians passed in 1850. Through this Act, EuroAmerican colonizers could apply to the local Justice of the Peace for the removal of Indians from lands under the colonizer’s ownership. Among other things, they could also apply to the Justice of the Peace to obtain Indian children for indenture. Many of the grave injustices attached to the Act were rescinded over the next 15 years, but all of the elements were not repealed until 1937 (Johnston-Dodds 2002).

The United States (U. S.) government sent three officials to California in 1851 to set aside lands for the disenfranchised tribes; intending that these lands would be protected from encroachment by colonizers. The officials spent a single year in the State, attempting the unreasonable task to cover the entire territory and negotiate treaties with all identifiable tribes. Not unsurprisingly, a vast majority of the remaining indigenous population did not trust the offers made by the federal government and refrained from entering into negotiations. Nevertheless, after meeting with over 400 community and tribal leaders, the end result was the agreement of eighteen treaties covering 7,466,000 acres throughout the State. The proposed removal of these lands from settlement by EuroAmericans caused a tremendous uproar and the newly-elected senators from California quietly ensured that treaties were never ratified by Congress. The treaties were secretly filed away by injunction and did not surface again until 1905.

Continuing conflicts between EuroAmericans and Indians led the U. S. government to establish five Indian reserves on military installations across the State during the 1850s. The reserves were poorly managed and did not have the resources to support significant populations. Ultimately they were disbanded in the early 1860s and the federal government basically abandoned the indigenous people of California.

Throughout the late 1860s and early 1870s, determined, desperate and dwindling Indian populations throughout the State fought to regain or preserve their ancestral lands only to find themselves forcibly transported to ill-managed reservations or become targets of enslavement or violence by settlers. Although reservations were established for 14 tribes in the southern California interior between 1873 and 1891, the federal government, under the newly created BIA, did little to help the indigenous peoples of the State.

1.2.1 Federal Actions

The federal government retained a controlling, although variable, role in the management of tribal communities and governments throughout the late 19th and much of the 20th centuries. After the unsuccessful attempt to place California Indians in military reservations during the 1850s, the federal government passed the General Allotment Act (or Dawes Act) in 1887 in an effort to force assimilation into EuroAmerican society by breaking up communal lands and further disrupting tribal organization. About

2,300 individual allotments had been made to Native Californians by 1930; most of which were in the northern part of the State. However, due to sustained poverty, a large number of these properties were eventually sold to EuroAmerican buyers; once again leaving Indians landless.

Public sentiment about the plight of California Indians began to shift after 1905 when the injunction of secrecy was lifted from the unratified treaties. Pressure on the BIA led to the establishment of 36 reservations and rancherias for landless Indians in northern California and the enlargement of seven southern California reservations by 1910.

Enactment of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 marked a formal shift from the legislation of the Dawes Act, which attempted to break up Indian communities, to an attitude that encouraged and fostered tribal organization. The caveat of the Act was that tribes, in order to benefit from federal aid programs, were required to organize their governments as democracies similar to the U. S. government; though this form of governance was usually fundamentally different from traditional tribal governments. The federal government thought that, through democracy, Indian peoples would more fully assimilate into American culture. Those tribes that agreed to reform their governments were identified as federally recognized tribes.

Federal policy radically shifted again when the Rancheria Act was passed in 1958. Once again the federal government attempted to force assimilation by dissolving tribal governments and terminating the status of sovereign tribes. In California 41 tribes suddenly no longer existed and communally-owned tribal lands were divided among individuals. As before, many of these lands were eventually sold to off-set poverty or to pay taxes.

Civil rights became an important issue to the entire nation in the 1960s. Although Indians had been granted full citizenship in 1924, the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 formally guaranteed the rights set out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to Native Americans. Native American activism and litigation strengthened during this time and some of the tribes that were terminated by the Rancheria Act were able to regain their sovereign status.

Indian peoples were further able to re-establish their rightful status and political influence in American society after July 1970, when President Nixon issued a policy statement in which he recognized the special government-to-government relationship that the federal government has with sovereign Native American tribes through the treaty process. He also recognized the injustice and inequity of the termination of the tribes as sovereign governments, and set a goal of providing assistance to tribes to enable self-governance and “improving the conditions of Indian life” (www.schlosserlawfiles.com/consult/PoliciesReConsult%20w-IndianTribe.htm). This policy was ultimately codified in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975. Despite this Act, however, the federal government continued to play a

1-4 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program significant, direct role in tribal government, heath care, education and economic development rather than provide tribes the opportunity for self-rule.

In 1983, President Reagan noted that, while the 1975 Act committed to assisting tribes reach self-government, actual self-sufficiency was being stifled. Reagan sought to improve the independence of Indian tribes by removing obstacles that prevented self- government and economic development, eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, and challenging governmental agencies to assist tribes in this endeavor. The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 played a significant role in ensuring that federally recognized tribes had the means for economic development and self-sufficiency.

President Clinton issued an Executive Memorandum in April 1994 that required executive departments and agencies to work within government-to-government relationship parameters, consult with tribal governments prior to implementing actions that might affect tribes, and assess the affects of federal programs and projects on tribal trust assets. Numerous federal agencies quickly developed policies and protocols for working with Indian tribes. Housing and Urban Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, and agencies under the Department of the Interior such as the Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are some of the agencies that had established policies within months of the Clinton memorandum (see Section 2.0). The memorandum was followed by Executive Order 13175 in November 2000. The Executive Order strengthened the government-to-government relationship, reiterated the requirement to consult with tribes when developing policies that would affect Native Americans, and further reduced impositions that restricted tribal self- government. The current Bush administration issued a Memorandum on September 23, 2004, which followed his predecessors’ policy for support of the government-to- government relationship with tribal governments and required that federal agencies work the tribal governments in a manner that cultivates mutual respect.

Other federal laws have been passed since the 1970s that insure that Native Americans have the ability to retain and practice their individual cultures. The Native American Religious Freedom Act (1978) and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) (1990) are examples of this kind. Through these various acts and laws, Native Americans today are able to re-establish their cultural entities and are included in the development of United States government policies that impact their lives.

1.2.2 State Actions

As outlined above, the indigenous peoples of California underwent extreme adversity with the first arrival of Europeans and EuroAmericans to their ancestral lands. Until the late 1800s and early 1900s, the attitude of the State toward its original inhabitants was largely one of dislocation, enslavement or outright eradication. This position gradually shifted and in 1917, California legally recognized Indians as citizens, though they were

1-5 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program not allowed to vote until the federal government granted citizenship in 1924. However, the status of Indian Tribes as sovereign nations and independent governments has fluctuated over the years as the U.S. government alternately forced tribes to group together, sometimes under fabricated organization (i.e., requiring many different tribes to live on one reservation), or dissolved cohesive communities. Within California, the status of Indians generally reflected the attitude exhibited by the federal government.

Progressive civil rights legislation across the nation in the 1960s and 1970s, coupled with a particularly progressive social agenda within the State, led California to establish the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in 1976, whose responsibilities are codified under Public Resources Code 5097. The NAHC represents all of California’s indigenous people, not just federally recognized tribes. One of the primary tasks of the office is to work with local agencies and developers to protect the cemeteries and sacred places that are integral to the cultures of Native Californians. As a member of the Resources Agency, the NAHC also assists the departments within the agency with Native American issues.

Over the past quarter century, the State has slowly moved to directly include California Indians in policy development and implementation on issues that directly impact their communities. The California Legislature Joint Rules Committee issued Resolution No. 30 on March 2, 1994, in which the State reaffirmed recognition of California Indian tribes as sovereign governments. The resolution identified pursuit of “a policy of shared economic and cultural development” as a shared goal of the State and tribes.

More recently, Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR) No. 62, issued in August 2000, was basically a request by the State legislature to the federal government to adequately fund law enforcement and judicial systems on tribal lands. The notable aspect of this Resolution was that it, again, recognized the sovereignty of the tribes, including those not recognized by the federal government. AJR No. 62 was quickly followed by Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 185, filed in September of the same year. This Resolution reaffirmed the State’s acknowledgement of federally recognized tribes as sovereign nations. However, the Resolution went a bit further by “encouraging” all State agencies to be respectful and sensitive to tribal sovereignty when developing policy that would affect tribal rights or trust assets. Thus, while the State recognized tribal sovereignty many times over, the tribes still had no real voice in developing policy.

The California Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (Cal NAGPRA) of 2001 provided California Indians an avenue to control elements important to their cultures. Codified under Health and Safety Code Section 8012-8021, Cal NAGPRA, defines policy for the respectful treatment of human remains and funerary objects, provides for the identification and repatriation of those remains located in State facilities, and ensures that all California tribes, federally recognized or not, have the right to participate in repatriation and decisions about the disposition of such remains.

Senate Bill (SB) 18, enacted in 2004, for the first time provides for active participation by tribal groups, as sovereign entities, in the planning processes for land use by local governments. Among other things, the law requires the establishment of “meaningful consultations” between local governments and affected tribes, and allows California Indians the opportunity to manage important cultural sites through easement acquisition. The bill includes all tribes, federally recognized or not, that are on the list of California tribes maintained by the NAHC.

1.2.3 DWR Responsibilities

While SB 18 requires counties and local governments to consult with Native California tribes during their planning processes, there is no legislation, directive or executive order that specifically requires State agencies to participate in a similar consultation protocol. A State Tribal Liaison was appointed to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research under Governor Davis. That office began working on tribal consultation policy for the State in 2002-2003, but the effort was terminated after the re-call election of 2003.

Despite the lack of a formal State requirement for tribal consultation, many State agencies have independently developed protocols; partly as the result of receiving federal funds or permits that ultimately require such consultation. The California Department of Transportation took an early and strong lead in consulting with tribes. Other State agencies that have also developed protocols for tribal consultation include the California Department of Forestry. A discussion of these various policies is provided in Section 3.0.

As with other State departments that routinely work with federal agencies, DWR currently regularly consults with California tribes under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in an effort to protect important cultural sites. However, the department does not routinely communicate with tribes about other specifically water- related issues. The 2005 California Water Plan Update identifies the need to include the Native American community in water policy issues and DWR will be incorporating new approaches to tribal government participation and input in the upcoming 2009 California Water Plan Update. Thus the department is moving toward developing its own policies for tribal inclusion. The Team 3 project hopes to contribute to this goal by establishing a data base of tribal contacts and interests throughout the State.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 OBJECTIVE(S)

The objective of this project was to gather information on how to better serve the needs of California’s tribal governments and communities. To accomplish this, a survey was developed by Team 3 to gather information about tribal water issues and communication desires in order to assist DWR toward improved communication and informal consultation. The results of the survey may be used to develop DWR and tribal communication protocols.

Among the 14 broad policy recommendations of the 2005 California Water Plan Update, number 13 specifically addresses the inclusion of tribal community water concerns. DWR will be incorporating new approaches to tribal government participation in the upcoming 2009 California Water Plan Update.

2.2 SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The mailing list was developed from different sources: the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region's contact list of federally recognized tribes; the BIA contact list for federally recognized tribes; the U.S. EPA Region 9 contact list for federally recognized tribes; the NAHC statewide mailing list for Native Americans in California--including non- federally recognized tribes or groups; the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2004 Field Directory of the California Indian Community; and e-mails to Barbara Cross, DWR’s Government and Community Liaison. The mailing list consists of 186 individual tribes or groups in California.

To improve the chances of getting a response, surveys were addressed to: Tribal Chairpersons, Tribal Administrators, Cultural Directors, and Environmental Coordinators. This corresponds to 495 surveys. Follow-up calls were also placed to a significant number of tribes encouraging them to respond.

The survey (Appendix A) was developed by reviewing other surveys (National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers 2004). The Team 3 survey consisted of 17 questions, most of which could be answered by checking a box. The survey was sent to both federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes or groups in California.

2.3 SURVEY RESULTS

2.3.1 Profile of Respondents

Of the 186 tribes contacted, 28 responses were received. This corresponds to a 15 percent response rate. Twenty-four of the respondents were federally recognized tribes

Table 1 shows the list of respondents and their status. The higher response rate from the recognized tribes could be an indicator that recognized tribes have more resources and are more apt to participate in DWR managed programs.

2.3.2 Data Evaluation

The following lists the questions asked in the survey and summarizes the answers received:

Question #1 - Do you have any water supply or water planning issues? When asked do you have any water supply or water planning issues, 70 percent of respondents answered yes. The issues identified revolve around water quantity, water quality and reliability. Some specific issues identified are: lack of guaranteed water rights, over pumping by host communities, need for new water wells, poorly regulated withdrawals from creeks that limit the tribes ability to practice a more traditional way of 2-2 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program life, moratoria on hook-ups, pollution from local industries effect water quality, lack of water supply to support existing communities or expansion needs, excessive lead and copper in groundwater supply, need for a new septic system. See Table 2 for the water issues identified by the tribes.

Question #2 - Are you interested in establishing regular communication with DWR regarding projects and programs that may be of interest to your tribe as it relates to question # 1? Ninety-two percent of respondents are interested in establishing regular communication with DWR regarding projects and programs that may be of interest to the tribe.

The tribe collaborates with water agencies in the area to upgrade community water/sanitation infrastructure. The tribe has a vested interest in the FERC relicensing process and all issues affecting the Klamath River. Laytonville Rancheria/Cahto Indian Tribe Information needed to determine Bureau of Indian Affairs position on proposed project:

1. Flow data/observations from Cahto Creek. 2. Specific impacts of the proposed project on tribal lands (plants, fish, erosion, pollution, aesthetics, etc.). 3. Any measures that could be taken to resolve protest. 4. Tribal use of Cahto Creek (purpose/amount). 5. How low flow affects tribal usage/resources).

Other concerns include:

1. The data on Cahto Creek has been determined flowing underground as of July 28, 2007. The creek has now dried-up from the U.S. Geographic Surveys water gauging station. 2. The tribes’ projects for Cahto Creek’s rehabilitation consist of the following plans to repair riparian zones (overstory/understory), for bringing water temperature down. The specific impact from the diversion of water is that there is no more water. Eighty percent of the creek (on Cahto Land) is a dried-up creek bed, which will not sustain aquatic life (fish, insects, Lamprey eel), or turtles. 3. The outside community property owners have not taken any measures to assist 2-4 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program

Tribal Organization Issue or support the Cahto Tribe interests to keep Cahto Creek flowing yearly (for aquatic life). 4. The tribe uses the creek to gather herbs and roots and also to provide families with fish and eel (if all the young healthy trout parish, there will be very low numbers returning to the Cahto Creek). Some tribal residents use the water for agricultural uses. 5. The tribe is affected by not being able to hold on to their Native American culture, and the creek doesn’t have low flows. It has moved underground. The dried-up creek beds could produce air quality issues. Pinoleville Pomo Nation Moratoria on hook-ups limit tribal development. Pollution from local industry affects tribal water quality. Poorly regulated withdrawals from Ackeeman Creek reduce habitat for fish, and amphibians on the reservation. Pit River Tribe of California The tribe has issues related to water quality, fisheries, irrigation, drinking water, wetlands. Potter Valley Tribe Water supply may impact future expansion of tribal land base or housing. Ramona Band of Cahuilla Indians The tribe has four wells on the reservation. Resighini Rancheria/Coast Indian Community Too much lead and copper in groundwater supply. Shingle Springs Rancheria Water supply at this time is inadequate for the tribe’s community. Trinidad Rancheria/Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community The tribe is served by the city of Trinidad water system. Supply and storage inadequacies are possible in the future. Tubatulabals of Kern Valley The tribe has ten tribal allotments - They are Indian Trust lands (160 acres each). Need access to water and discussion of Kern River water rights. Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk The tribe needs better septic system, new septic system, and drinking water wells. Walker River Paiute Tribe The tribe has high arsenic levels in the drinking water supply. Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California Groundwater protection - South lake Tahoe Public Utility Dist. Is planning a large project near Woodfords Community. The soils are volcanic in nature so fractures can lead to major groundwater contamination. Surface Water - Carson River Watershed - Indian Creek etc.

3.0 AGENCY PROTOCOLS FOR CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION WITH INDIAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS

The scope of this Section is to describe the various protocols for consultation and coordination with Indian tribal governments used by federal and State departments and agencies.

3.1 FEDERAL PROTOCOLS

3.1.1 Department of Interior

3.1.1.1 Bureau of Land Management

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) implemented Manual 8160 (Manual) and Handbook H-8160-1 (Handbook) in November 1994. The Handbook is intended to advance the policy and broad direction contained in the Manual by giving practical guidance to BLM managers and staff whose duties include coordination and consultation with Native Americans. Appendix 5 of the Handbook focuses on controversial issues regarding water rights.

One of the main users of BLM’s Handbook is BLM’s Division of Engineering (DOE). DOE managers are responsible for implementing a tribal identification process, and ensuring that government-to-government consultations are established with all appropriate tribal governments. Tribal consultation must occur through a formal, documented, government-to-government process that is consistent with DOE's American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Government Policy. The initiation of the formal consultation process may involve letters, frequent follow-up telephone calls, and office visits.

3.1.1.2 United States Fish and Wildlife Service

As a representative of the federal government, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has the responsibility to manage American Indian lands in a way that:

 reflects federal trust responsibility toward Indian tribes;  respects tribal rights;  acknowledges the treaty obligations of the United States toward tribes;  uses the government-to-government relationship in dealing with tribes; and  protects natural resources that the federal government holds in trust for tribes.

USFWS and Indian tribes work together to implement the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. USFWS and Indian tribes have a common goal of conserving sensitive species (including candidate, proposed, and listed species) and the ecosystems upon

3-1 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program which they depend. Indian lands are not federal public lands or part of the public domain, and are not subject to federal public land laws. They were retained by tribes or were set aside for tribal use pursuant to treaties, statutes, judicial decisions, executive orders or agreements. These lands are managed by Indian tribes in accordance with tribal goals and objectives, within the framework of applicable laws. Many Indian lands have remained untouched by conventional land use practices and, therefore, are islands of high quality ecosystems that attract many sensitive species.

3.1.2 Department of Agriculture

3.1.2.1 United States Forest Service

The U. S. Forest Service (USFS) is another department that has developed protocols regarding governmental relationships with federally acknowledged tribal governments. One goal for USFS programs and activities is to honor and fulfill legally mandated trust responsibilities on National Forest lands. USFS policy is to be sensitive to traditional Indian religious beliefs and practices. USFS provides research, technology, and technical assistance to tribal governments. USFS uses a Tribal Relations Specialist to inform Forest Service employees of the wide range of tribal government interests and to address tribal governments’ concerns among affected Forest Service programs.

The USFS has a well developed National Heritage Strategy (Strategy), under the title Heritage – It’s About Time! A National Strategy, posted in the USFS’s Web page at http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/heritage/heritage_strategy.shtml. In this strategy document the USFS explains the importance of preserving heritage resources: “Awaiting discovery in the hollows, mountains and river valleys of our National Forests are the remnants of past cultures that confront us and remind us of the centuries-old relationship between people and the land. These heritage resources hold clues to past ecosystems, add richness and depth to our landscapes provide links to living traditions, and help transform a beautiful walk in the woods into an unforgettable encounter with history”.

The USFS recognizes the importance of coordination and cooperation with other managing agencies, local communities, and Indian tribes to provide economic sustainability to traditional cultures and local and regional priorities. The USFS currently consults with more than 400 Indian Tribes.

The Strategy mentions that USFS relationships with Indian tribes will be based on trust to facilitate resolution on heritage issues. The USFS concludes that the only way to achieve this goal is by establishing a strong alliance between agencies, local communities, Indian tribes, private sector partners, the professional community, and others.

3.2 STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROTOCOLS

3.2.1 California Department of Transportation

The Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is the State department that has the most developed policy for working with Indian tribes.

Caltrans’ principles and guidelines for consultation with Tribal governments are detailed in Title VI Program – Civil Rights.

These guidelines for consultation with tribal governments is patterned after federal regulations such as 23 CFR 450.104, 450. 210 (5) and Executive Order 13175. The Title VI Program, furthermore, is based on the Federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st century (TEA-21). TEA –21 reinforced the federal emphasis on tribal government participation in transportation planning that was initiated by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA).

The Title VI Program includes the following principles and guidelines for Consultation with Tribal Governments:

 Consultation means that one party confers with another identified party and, prior to taking action(s), considers that party’s views.  Tribal Government refers to the recognized government, or political unit of a Tribe.  Each federally recognized Tribe is a sovereign government. Each Tribe has its own form of government and protocol for how business is to be conducted. There is no singular approach. Unless directed otherwise by the Tribe, correspondence should be addressed to the Tribal Chairperson.  Providing enough time for the Tribal Government to respond is important. Most Tribal Governments meet once a month and it may be difficult to put additional items on the agenda if not given enough time.

3.2.2 California Department of Forestry

In 1998, the California Department of Forestry (CDF) issued an informational guide that provides rules and regulations for the commercial timber operations on private and other non-federal lands inside California. The report, titled Native American Guide to Timber Harvesting on Non-Federal Lands in California provides the opportunity for Native Americans to protect their cultural heritage by participating in the development and review of Timber Harvesting Plans (THP). The report was entirely re-written in 2003 and introduced in the Reference Manual and Study Guide for CDF’s Archeological Training Program. Under the THP preparation procedures, a section titled “Consultation with Native Americans” provides detailed steps that a Registered Professional Forester (RPF) has

3-3 MDP – Team 3 January 9, 2018 D:\Docs\2017-07-18\003c26efef19fc28ffbefacd65930e6e.doc Establishing Better Relationships With Native American Tribes In California DWR Management Development Program to follow when establishing consultation with Native Americans of whom archaeological of cultural sites may be within or near by the RPF’s Proposed THP area.

CDF provides training and direction to RPFs and advises them on how to accomplish successful notification and consultation with Native Americans. Native American instructors are welcome to participate and help CDF in the RPF training classes.

As part of the Initial Consultation – Identification of potential Native American archaeological and cultural resources, CDF requires that the RPF submit a letter to the Native Americans and to the NAHC in which the RPF will request information concerning the potential existence of any Native American archaeological of cultural site within the plan boundaries. The letter should contain two detailed 7.5’ quadrangle United States Geodesic System map attachments: a vicinity map, and a detailed project map. To better facilitate communication, the correspondence should contain an introductory statement of purpose, a brief description of the proposed project, a request for information on archaeological or cultural sites that might exist in the project area, information on when the project is likely to begin, the name, address, and phone number of the RPF to contact, information on the time frame to submit written comments, and a statement that encourages participation in the project review process. The NAHC will check its Sacred Lands File and reply if sacred lands sites are identified within the THP area.

Once the Initial Consultation is completed and the RPF has identified the potential Native American groups affected by the THP, the RPF must complete a Second Consultation to notify the identified Native American groups that the proposed RPF’s THP could affect Native American archeological and cultural resources. If the RPF knows that cultural resources are present and how they will be treated, the initial and second consultation may be completed in a single step.

CDF recommends that the RPF coordinate with a CDF Archaeologist to verify the locations of any Native American heritage sites, identified by the NAHC or provided by a Native American group, that appear to be in close proximity to the THP area.

CDF’s document also provides guidelines for Native Americans to respond to the RPF’s consultations. CDF recommends that after receiving a notification letter from the RPF the Native American group should determine whether or not the proposed THP is inside or outside the tribe’s ancestral territory or area of concern or expertise. If clarification on the location of the proposed project or any other information is needed, the Indian tribe must contact the RPF. If the proposed THP is within an Indian Tribe’s ancestral territory or area of concern or expertise, an archival search should be conducted through the tribe’s archive, or by contacting tribal elders and members for comments.

CDF concludes that communication between all the parties involved in a THP (RPF, Native Americans, and CDF) is crucial. CDF recognizes that CDF archaeologists will not

3.2.3 CALFED Bay-Delta Program

The CALFED Bay-Delta Program’s Record of Decision and the CALFED Bay-Delta Authority’s implementing statutes both include a commitment to coordinate with tribal governments as part of program implementation. Part of the oversight and coordination function of the Authority is to help implementing agencies address tribal concerns associated with their CALFED activities and avoid impacts to heritage sites. Since the beginning of the CALFED program, the tribes have been involved and currently are represented on the Bay-Delta Program Advisory Committee (BDPAC). With the final goal of protecting and preserving the Indian Trust Assets, the Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP) Agencies are working with the California Bay-Delta Authority (CBDA) Tribal Relations Coordinator to help develop more tribal input and participation on issues or concerns of the tribes. Among the opportunities to do so are:

 Tribal Water Programs (Clean Water Act 106, 319H, etc.). The majority of California tribes developed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tribal Environmental Programs with extensive water protection and water quality programs that should be considered in ecosystem restoration project planning and implementation.  Tribal Memorandums of Understanding (MOU)/Programmatic Agreements (PA). MOUs, Memorandums of Agreement, and PAs with California tribes are an effective method of conducting initial consultation and final decision-making in implementing the ERP.  Stewardship. Tribes are very aware of stewardship concepts and have formed partnerships with many local agencies and environmental groups to promote such concepts and projects.  BDPAC Tribal Representatives. California tribes have been involved with the CALFED Bay-Delta Program for several years in various stakeholder groups and other public forums. There currently are two tribal advisory members serving on the BDPAC and several of its subcommittees, including the Ecosystem Restoration Subcommittee. CBDA’s Tribal Coordinator, along with the ERP agencies, can assist in relaying information about ERP implementation between BDPAC, its subcommittees, and the California tribes.  Grant opportunities/educational outreach. The ERP agencies will work with the CBDA Tribal Coordinator to continue to notify tribal governments of grant opportunities that promote ecosystem restoration.

4.0 RECOMENDATIONS

Working toward the objective to learn how to better serve the needs of California’s tribal governments and communities, Team 3 has developed recommendations to facilitate DWR’s outreach and work with tribal governments and Native American communities in a knowledgeable, sensitive, and respectful manner. These recommendations also provide methods by which DWR can communicate the benefits of the department’s programs to all California communities, especially those which may not have participated in the past.

4.1 TRAINING

All project mangers and middle managers that may have dialogue with tribes should attend training relating to Native American culture and policies to improve sensitivity to tribal issues. Training is available through the U.S. EPA Region 9 Tribal Programs Office in San Francisco and other organizations.

4.2 POLICIES

DWR should contact the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) for an update on the status of State policy on working with tribes.

4.3 RESOURCE INFORMATION

Maintain contact list for tribal governments developed during this project to facilitate communication by project managers with appropriate tribal governments.

4.4 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

Based on the results of the survey, the following communication protocols are recommended:

a. Initial contact with the tribes should be through tribal EPA/Environmental coordinators and tribal chairpersons.

b. Communication should be via e-mail. If e-mail is not available, communication should be in writing.

c. E-mails or letters should be from DWR’s Tribal Liaison or the appropriate project manager.

d. The department should allow for a 45-day review and response period. Follow up by phone if necessary, contacting the tribe’s chairperson or the EPA/Environmental coordinator.

e. Implement a quarterly or bi-annual newsletter covering current and future projects.

f. If requested, meet with tribes that ask for in-person communications.

Implementing the above recommendations will begin building a strong foundation for communication which will allow DWR to establish positive working relationships in the future. Though there is no official State directive, some State agencies have taken the initiative to develop protocols for communicating with tribes.

Question #1 - Do you have any water supply or water planning issues?

Tribal Organization Yes No Explain Laytonville Rancheria/Cahto Indian Tribe Information needed to determine Bureau of Indian Affairs position on proposed project:

1. Flow data/observations from Cahto Creek. 2. Specific impacts of the proposed project on tribal lands (plants, fish, erosion, pollution, aesthetics, etc.). 3. Any measures that could be taken to resolve protest. 4. Tribal use of Cahto Creek (purpose/amount). 5. How low flow affects tribal usage/resources).

1. The data on Cahto Creek has been determined flowing underground as of July 28, 2007. We now have dried-up from our U.S. Geographic Surveys water gauging station. The data from the station will be 2. The tribes’ projects for Cahto Creeks rehabilitation consist of the following plans to repair riparian zones (overstory/understory), for bringing water temperature down. The specific impact from the diversion of water is that we have no more water! Eighty percent of the creek (on Cahto Land) is a dried-up creek bed, which we all know will not sustain aquatic life (fish, insects, eel (Lamprey), or turtles. 3. The outside community property owners have not taken any measures to assist or support the Cahto Tribe interests to keep Cahto Creek flowing yearly (for aquatic life). 4. The tribes’ uses of the creek are gathering herbs and roots also to provide our families with fish and eel (if all the young healthy trout parish, there will be very low numbers returning to the Cahto Creek!). Some tribal residents use the water for agricultural uses. 5. Our tribe is affected by not being able to hold on to our Native American cultures, and the creek doesn’t have low flows. It has moved underground. The dried-up creek beds could 1 produce air quality issues. Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians 1 Resighini Rancheria/Coast Indian Community 1 Too much lead and copper in groundwater supply Bridgeport Indian Colony Bridgeport Indian Colony needs a clean source of drinking water. Town of Bridgeport water is contaminated. Bridgeport Indian Colony needs help with drilling a water well that will support current and future populations. Additionally, there is a need of assistance in constructing a 1 reserve osmosis plant. Soboba Band of Indians 1 Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California Groundwater protection - South lake Tahoe Public Utility Dist. Is planning a large project near Woodfords Community. The soils are volcanic in nature so fractures can lead to major 1 groundwater contamination. Surface Water - Carson River Watershed - Indian Creek etc. Cedarville Rancheria
