TRIBAL CONSULTATION POLICY AND PRACTICE: A CASE STUDY OF THE CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES AND NMISULETKʷ (THE MIDDLE FORK OF THE CLARK FORK RIVER) AS A TRIBAL TRUST RESOURCE By JENNIFER JO HARRINGTON B.S.

Chaffin Abstract Formal, government-to-government Consultation between sovereign nations is a process of continuous relationship-building, a partnership and an agreement made with all points-of-view included in the process, with results that have the fingerprint of all nations involved evident. The Federal Government is obligated to work with Federally-recognized Tribes as sovereign nations in matters that have or will impact each Nation’s people and places (reservations, treaty- protected areas)—a process legally known as Consultation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as a federal agency, must uphold the Federal Trust responsibility which includes the act of Consulting with Federally-recognized Tribes on matters involving human health and the environment on reservations or in aboriginal territories when treaty resources are impacted. Consultation between Tribes and federal agencies in general, and specifically between the EPA and Tribes, has not been successfully constructed nor implemented. In this thesis, I seek to understand how Consultation is defined in federal policy and how it is perceived by Tribes, what is not working, and what can be done to create inclusive and meaningful Consultation, specifically between the EPA and Tribes in relation to the Superfund process. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) are Natural Resource Trustees across their aboriginal homelands, which includes nmisuletkʷ, the Middle Fork of the Clark Fork River. The impacts of air, land, and water pollution left behind by the operations of a former paper mill continue to have an impact on Tribal Trust Resources. I employ indigenous and qualitative research methods to analyze Federal-Tribal Consultation including a broad policy analysis and a case study that leverages direct observation and semi-structured ethnographic interviews with Tribal members and representatives involved in Tribal response to federal and state processes for the potential listing of the Smurfit-Stone/Frenchtown Mill as a Superfund site. Through this work, I articulate a foundation for creating (or amending) policy that better reflects a Native worldview to be more inclusive, culturally relevant, and effective for sustainable management of our shared landscapes. Consultation between two or more sovereign nations necessitates equal footing. This case study illuminates several barriers to effective and meaningful Consultation with Tribes, but also provides suggestions to the EPA for more just and inclusive Consultation practices. The recommendations for improving Consultation include Indigenizing Consultation, which will create a more transparent, inclusive, and long-term relationship between Native Nations, the EPA, and the environment. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Boozhoo indinawemaaganidog. Tansi! Miigwech! Kinana'skomitina'wa'w! I first want to acknowledge the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and each of the individuals who gave their time to share their story and talk about how Consultation is and is not working between sovereign nations. Miigwech! Thank you! I am grateful beyond words to all those who have supported me throughout my graduate work here at the Franke College of Forestry and Conservation at the University of Montana. I wish to thank my Advisor, Brian Chaffin, for his patience, guidance, support, and shared interest in seeking social and environmental justice. I have learned so much from him and will be forever grateful for his influence on my work! I wish to thank my mentor, friend, and committee member, Ruth Ann Plenty Sweetgrass-She Kills! Without her belief in me as an undergraduate student and her continued support throughout my graduate work, I would not be here right now. Ruth has been a constant source of encouragement and has guided me in conducting this research using Indigenous Research methods and perspective. I wish to thank my committee member, Vicki Watson, who also saw potential in me as an undergraduate and as a fierce defender of environmental justice. I learned so much from Vicki about pollution, activism, and persistence! I also want to thank my committee member, John Goodburn, who has always been a role model to me and taught me how to conduct a literature review, taught me about forest ecosystems, and he shared his appreciation for knowledge and understanding that have made an impact on my work! I would like to thank our Associate Dean, Michael Patterson, who has been an unwavering source of guidance and support since I returned to the University of Montana. He is an inspiration to me and my work. Finally, a big thanks to UM Professors Ke Wu and Fred Peck, and to Dean Nicolai and Aaron Brien of Salish Kootenai College. I would not be here today without the love and support of my family and friends, some still with us and some that have passed on. To my Mom and Dad, Miigwech! To my children, Liam and Olivia, thank you for your constant patience with me as I returned to school to finish my undergraduate degree and then went on to complete my graduate degree! Finally, I need to thank the natural world. The trauma that impacted my life persisted like pollution and left me without hope. Healing began when I started to explore and engage with all of my relatives. Now, it is my turn to repay the gift and I hope that this work is one way to help repair the damages that industry and development have had across the globe. My thesis journey has been fraught with barriers, much like the Superfund process, however, I see a light at the end of the long tunnel and feel hopeful that this research will result in changes in policy and practice between the EPA and Tribal governments. iv Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction .................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 2 Background .................................................................................................................... 4 2.1 Why Consult with Tribes?

  • Council Grove State Park Indian Education for All Lesson Plan Title
    A Collaborative Effort September 2006 Council Grove State Park Indian Education For All Lesson Plan Title Council Grove: Site of the Hellgate Treaty Content Area(s) Social Studies; Media Literacy Grade level 4th Duration 1-2 Hours Goals (Montana Standards/Essential Understandings) ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 1: There is great diversity among the 12 tribal Nations of Montana in their languages, cultures, histories and governments. Each Nation has a distinct and unique cultural heritage that contributes to modern Montana. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 4: Reservations are land that have been reserved by the tribes for their own use through treaties and was not “given” to them. The principle that land should be acquired from the Indians only through their consent with treaties involved three assumptions: I. That both parties to treaties were sovereign powers. II. That Indian tribes had some form of transferable title to the land. III. That acquisition of Indian lands was solely a government matter not to be left to individual colonists. ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING 7: Under the American legal system, Indian tribes have sovereign powers separate and independent from the federal and state governments. However, the extent and breadth of tribal sovereignty is not the same for each tribe. Social Studies Content Standard 4: Students demonstrate an understanding of the effects of time, continuity, and change on historical and future perspectives and relationships. Speaking and Listening Content Standard 4: Students identify, analyze, and evaluate the impacts of effective speaking and evaluative listening. Reading Content Standard 5: Students gather, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information from a variety of sources, and communicate their findings in ways appropriate for their purposes and audiences.

    ROAD TRIPS OF AMERICA Introduction The American Road—written about in books and poems, sung about in songs, and immortalized on film. It’s a symbol of freedom—a way to somewhere else… anywhere else. It’s no wonder, then, that each year all over the U.S., families, friends, and even solo travelers pack up their cars and hit the road. There’s probably no better way to see the country than on a road trip—traveling down the highways at speed, with vast landscapes painting a moving picture across your windshield. In this book you’ll find guides to 15 must-do road trips in the United States. From the changing colors of tree-lined New England turnpikes to panoramic views of the Pacific Coast Highway, we’ve got you covered. Additionally, we’ll guide you through each state you’ll visit—pointing out the sights, scenes, and attractions along the way. So grab your keys and your favorite road trip junk food (yeah, it’s a thing), and get ready for the ride. NOTE: Things happen, and some of the places mentioned in this guidebook might not be available to you when you need them to be. It’s never a bad idea to call ahead or check online to make sure.
