Dear Ms. Wllls, A record search of the sacred land file has failed to indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the immediate project area. The absence of specific site information in the sacred lands file does not indicate the absence of cultural resources in any project area. Other sources of cultural resources should also be contacted for information regarding known and recorded sites. Enclosed is a list of Native Americans individuals/organizations who may have knowledge of cutturat resources in the project area. The Commission makes no recommendation or preference of a single individual, or group over another. This list should provide a starting place in locating areas of potential adverse impact within the proposed projsct area. I suggest you contact all of those indicated, if they cannot supply information, they might recommend others with specific knowledge. By contacting all those listed, your organization will be better able to respond to claims of failure to consutt with the appropriate tribe or group. If a response has not been received within two weeks ot notification, the Commission requests that you follow-up with a telephone call to ensure that the project information has been received. If you receive notification of change ot addresses and phone numbers from any of these individuals or groups, please notify me. Witt1 your assistance we are able to assure that our lists contain current information. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (916) 373·3712.
