  • Tribal Relations and Consultation at Txdot
    Tribal Relations and Consultation at TxDOT Draft Strategic Plan 2016 Archeological Studies Branch, Cultural Resources Management (CRM) Section, Environmental Affairs Division (ENV) Vision for Tribal Relations and Consultation at TxDOT The Texas Department of Transportation is a best-in-class agency that goes above and beyond the spirit of consultation to work collaboratively with federally recognized Native American tribes toward mutually beneficial outcomes during all levels of the transportation process. Mission of the Tribal Relations and Consultation Program: Build relationships and purposefully collaborate with tribal nations in the planning and implementation of TxDOT projects and programs. In working with tribal nations, TxDOT: . Recognizes the inherent sovereign status and reserved rights of tribes; . Practices and promotes cultural sensitivity when working with tribes; . Honors the spirit of various federal requirements and orders to consult with tribes; . Aims to go above and beyond current practices to foster trust and productivity; . Commits to providing meaningful and substantive consultation with tribes on transportation projects; and . Promotes collaborative consultation opportunities during planning and review processes within TXDOT. 2 Draft Tribal Relations and Consultation Strategic Plan 2016 Foreword Texas’ long and rich cultural history is rooted in the indigenous people who once inhabited the land. Tribal nations continue to have an inherent interest in the state’s natural and cultural resources. Today, the federal government recognizes tribes’ inherent sovereign status, a unique relationship that is embodied in the U.S. Constitution, treaties, court decisions, federal statutes and executive orders. As TxDOT builds a safe and reliable transportation system, the agency (on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration) consults with tribes on statewide transportation plans and projects with federal funding.

  • For the Osage Nation
    AGENDA ITEM REPORT Meeting Date: May 11, 2021 Staff Contact: Carol Lahman, City Attorney Department: Legal Subject: Approve the Execution of the Forbearance Agreement entered into by The Osage Nation, the City of Enid and the Enid Municipal Authority, and authorize payment in the amount of $1,000,000.00. Background: To allow the Kaw Lake Water Supply Project to proceed, the City of Enid has been in negotiations with The Osage Nation to find an accommodation for the City project that would not affect The Osage Nation’s or the State of Oklahoma’s interest, rights or position as to natural resources, property, or water. The Forbearance Agreement, if approved, would resolve the issues between the City of Enid and The Osage Nation without either party resorting to lengthy and expensive litigation that would delay the start of the construction of the Kaw Lake pipeline. The negotiations have taken place over the last four years. If approved, the Enid Municipal Authority will pay $1,000,000.00 to The Nation within 30 days, as part of the consideration for the agreement. The City will also reserve a certain amount of the capacity in the pipeline for the Nation. This does not compromise the ability of the City to carry the full OWRB permit amount of water from Kaw Lake to Enid. The agreement provides that if the Nation, at some point, decides to make use of the capacity, that the Nation will construct and pay for the improvements necessary, and will pay for the cost of maintenance and operation attributable to this use.

  • Osage Nation of Oklahoma
    United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Washington, DC 20240 JUN 26 2020 The Honorable Geoffrey Standing Bear Principal Chief, Osage Nation 627 Grandview Pawhuska, Oklahoma 74056 Dear Principal Chief Standing Bear: In 2016, the Osage Nation (Nation) submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) an application to transfer into trust approximately 63.1 acres of land known as the Pawhuska Property (Site) in Osage County, Oklahoma, for gaming and other purposes.1 The Nation will relocate its existing Pawhuska facility to the Site, and develop approximately 17 acres of the Site with a casino and hotel (Proposed Project). The Nation also submitted a request for a determination whether the Nation is eligible to conduct gaming on the Site. The Proposed Project would replace the Nation's existing Pawhuska Osage Casino in Osage County. The Nation intends to close the existing casino and relocate it to the Site operating approximately 300 feet directly across Highway 99/60. We have completed our review of the Nation's request, the Regional Director's Findings of Fact,2 and the documentation in the record. As discussed below, it is my determination that the Department of the Interior (Department) will transfer the Site into trust for the benefit of the Nation pursuant to Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA).3 Once transferred into trust, the Nation may conduct gaming on the Site pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).4 Background In 1870, Congress removed and relocated the Osage people from their lands in Kansas, which were then sold, to lands in the Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma.5 There, Congress established the boundaries of the Nation's Reservation in 1872, consisting of approximately 1.47 million acres, which subsequently became part of the Oklahoma Territory in 1890.6 1 See Letter from Property Manager, Osage Nation, to Robin Philips, Superintendent, Osage Agency (Nov.
