Cultural Resources CULTURAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION This analysis considers the affected environment and environmental consequences to cultural resources for the Stillwater Mining Company’s (SMC’s) Iron Creek and West Fork of the Stillwater River Plan of Operations for Mineral Exploration on the Custer Gallatin National Forest. Cultural resources are the physical remains of archaeological, historical, and architectural sites and/or places of traditional cultural use. The goal of cultural resource management as stated in the Custer Forest Plan is “…to maintain and enhance historic and prehistoric cultural resource values. Conservation of archaeological and historic sites and information for research, public interpretation, and use by future generations is emphasized.” (USDA-FS 1986: 4) and as stated in the Gallatin Forest Plan “Cultural resources on the Gallatin Forest will be managed to maintain their scientific, social, and historical value in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws” (USDA-FS 1987: II-3). ISSUE STATEMENT The No Action, Proposed Action, and Agency Mitigated Proposed Action alternatives could potentially affect cultural resources. As such, the decision maker must consider the effects to all cultural resources that may be located within the boundary of the area of potential effect (APE). The APE consists of three proposed drilling areas (Blocks 1 and 2, and the 18.4 deep drilling location), at least eight proposed helicopter staging area (Sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8), and proposed road maintenance on the Picket Pin Road #2140 and the Horseman Flat/West Fork Road #2846. Cultural resource surveys of the APE have recorded nine related cultural resources. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Since cultural resources are nonrenewable and easily damaged, laws and regulations exist to help protect them. These include the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), the Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA), and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Sacred sites fall under the purview of the Sacred Lands Executive Order (Executive Order 13007). Native American graves are protected under NAGPRA. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations require Federal Agencies to consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. The term historic properties refer to cultural resources that have been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Code of Federal Regulations 36 CFR 800 outlines the set of procedures established by the NHPA that Federal Agencies must follow before implementing an action that may affect historic properties. American Indians and Alaskan Natives are recognized as people with distinct cultures and traditional values. They have a special and unique legal and political relationship with the Government of the United States as defined by history, treaties, statutes, executive orders, court decisions and the U.S. Constitution. The 1992 amendments to the NHPA specify that properties SMC Iron Creek and West Fork Stillwater Exploration Plan of Operations 1 of traditional religious and cultural importance, referred to as traditional cultural properties (TCPs), may be determined eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. Effects to “cultural resources of traditional religious and cultural importance” must be considered under the NHPA. In carrying out the responsibilities under Section 106 of the NHPA, the USFS is required to consult with any tribe that attaches religious and cultural significance to such properties when any federal undertaking may affect them {16 USC 470a(d)(6)(A)}. The SMC’s Iron Creek and West Fork of the Stillwater River Plan of Operations for Mineral Exploration Project Area lies within traditional Crow Indian territory, as defined by the Fort Laramie Treaties. FOREST PLANS Since the APE is located on the Custer Gallatin National Forest, two Forest Plans provide direction for managing cultural resources. The Custer Forest Plan goal of cultural resource management is “…to maintain and enhance historic and prehistoric cultural resource values. Conservation of archaeological and historic sites and information for research, public interpretation, and use by future generations is emphasized.” (USDA-FS 1986: 4). The Gallatin Forest Plan goal of cultural resource management is “Cultural resources on the Gallatin Forest will be managed to maintain their scientific, social, and historical value in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws” (USDA-FS 1987: II-3). There is no additional specific Management Area C, D or E (Custer Forest Plan) or Management Area 3, 6, 8, or 16 (Gallatin Forest Plan) direction for cultural resources. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES Prehistoric and historic heritage resources are a nonrenewable resource. Heritage resources have many values including their use to gather scientific information on human culture history, interpretive and educational value, values associated with important people and events of importance in our history, and often an aesthetic value as in a prehistoric petroglyph or an historic landscape. For the American tribes, as well as other traditional culture groups, archaeological and historic sites often have importance for religious and ceremonial purposes or simply as locations for traditional uses important in a particular group’s ongoing cultural identity. Since cultural resources would be protected under Section 106 of the NHPA, the potential to affect those properties becomes the measure of the effects of mineral exploration activities between the alternatives. An effect, according to 36 CFR 800.9(a), may include an alteration to the property’s characteristics of location, setting, or use. Adverse effects are defined as those which may diminish the integrity of the property’s location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling or association and include but are not limited to: Physical destruction, damage, or alteration of all or part of the property, Alteration of the character of the setting when that character contributes to the property’s qualification for the National Register, Introduction of visual, audible, or atmospheric elements that are out of character with the property or alter its setting. A direct effect occurs when the action of the undertaking itself impacts the heritage resource. For example, ground-disturbing activities such as road, pipeline, or building construction may damage or demolish a site. An indirect effect is not caused by the action itself but is the secondary result of the undertaking. An example would be manipulation of a watershed which could in turn cause SMC Iron Creek and West Fork Stillwater Exploration Plan of Operations 2 increased erosion of heritage sites downstream or the upgrade of existing roads or trails which improves or allows public access into previously secluded site areas. Increased access can be directly related to an increase of vandalism or illegal/unauthorized artifact collection. Analysis Framework For this analysis, those cultural resource properties that have not been formally evaluated for nomination to the NRHP are treated as historic properties. File and literature search was conducted to define previous archaeological work within, and in the vicinity of, the APE. Table 1 summarizes the archaeological work within the SMC’s Iron Creek and West Fork of the Stillwater River Plan of Operations for Mineral Exploration Project Area APE conducted to date. Table 1.

  • DEPARTMENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT COMMANDER Roger Hancock
    DEPARTMENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DEPARTMENT COMMANDER Roger Hancock I attended the membership workshop in Indianapolis. National stressed the importance of having a membership team and the importance of consistency with all members. It is also important to ensure each member of the team is efficient and highly motivated. The National goal for the American Legion centennial is 3.2 million members. Currently the American Legion is sitting at 2.4 million. When you do the math, we are 800 thousand short. Last year we finished with over 12,400 members. We made goal last year even though our renewal rate was only around 88.5 percent. We need to redouble our efforts to retain our members. What’s happening that we’re not? Businesses that don’t change to customer demands slowly die out. Those that do change thrive and ultimately increase their business. We need to change to meet the needs of our younger veterans without changing our founding core values. These young veterans number 800,000 plus and are out future leaders. Two new positions were created at our first Executive Committee meeting. The Department Emergency Response Coordinator (DERC) job is to train and prepare Posts to respond to disasters within their communities and coordinate their efforts. The other position is the American Legion Rider Coordinator (ALRC) whose job is to provide a point of contact (POC) for riders from all of the ALR Chapters within the Department, be a liaison between the Chapters and the Department and provide available information from outside the Department. On September 18th thru the 21st the Department was visited by The American Legion National Commander, Mike Helm.

Forward By Valerie Not Afraid I am thankful for being able to be a part of this program between Livingston Elementary and Pryor Elementary for the past two years. I enjoyed each visit to Livingston Elementary. The staf, the students, their parents, and the building itself were very nice. We were welcomed by all whom we met. The students and I felt special and were treated with great respect. From the Museum visits to the dinner, it was all awesome! Our visits to Fort Parker were pleasant, adventurous, and life-long learning events. For someone who has never learned about Fort Parker, as our frst Agency, it has been a wonderful learning experience! I plan on teaching these lessons to all my students this coming fall. It is to better prepare them for the next visit to Fort Parker, as well as for learning about their history. This program is set up between two schools who are building bridges and building friendships. I am working on teaching the Crow Language words for Building Bridges and Building Friendships for my fellow colleagues at Livingston Elementary.
