• Understanding the Forest Plan Revision process • Tribal Workshop Powerpoint Presentation and how to participate • Tribal Workshop Agenda • Beginning to draft plan components for Area of Tribal Importance

• Setting meeting dates for continued coordination and consultation

I. Welcome & Introductions (Megan Eno & Mark Pentecost) Reference: Presentation Slides 1-5 • The Forest Service (FS) was asked by the Inter-Tribal Coalition to host a workshop about the Forest Plan Revision (FPR). Today we’ll be talking about what’s ahead of us, examples of success on other forests, and how to engage in the process. • Due to the destiny of cultural sites on the Manti-La Sal National Forest, it is one of the most culturally rich Forests in the Region. It is very important to get Tribal input on FPR. This workshop is designed to get that started. • Another key objective of the workshop is to introduce the Forest staff so you know who to connect with moving forward. • Intentions for coming to the meeting and specific topics of interest expressed by attendees include: » Learn/Listen. » Build relationships. » Protect tribal/cultural resources. » Listen to concerns and understand the planning process. » FS strategy/options for identification of resources. » Working together as a group/supporting the group. » Learn how the FS interacts with tribal communities. » Communication of ancestral lands. » Build relationship with the FS. » Show respect for tribal leadership. » Provide tribal input/guidance. » Learn the planning timeline/process. » Understand the planning process and group cooperation. » Get to know the people, organizations, and tribes involved.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 2 » Develop a plan that integrates traditional tribal Elder’s knowledge. » Understand the plan and distribute information. » Bring traditional coordination into the process. » Facilitate FS/Tribal coordination. » Recognize wild plants/traditional foods. » Help ensure that the FPR process results in an outcome that benefits all communities. » Gather information to share with tribes. » Understand regulations and enforcement.

II. Working with Tribes during Plan Revision (Megan Eno & Dan Adams) Reference: Presentation Slides 6-12, Workbook pg. 3-6, Forest Service Hopi Springs Restoration Video • The 2012 Planning Rule challenges us to work closely together, not just about natural resources, but also about cultural resources and socio-economic considerations. The FS is available to host public meetings, listening sessions, etc. to facilitate that. • The Carson, Cibola, and Santa Fe National Forests worked closely with Tribes and developed plan components that are consistent across Forests. These could be a good base for us to build upon. • There are different levels of consultation. Government-to-Government (Section 106) for programmatic agreements, leadership-level for broad decision-making, and staff-level collaboration for projects.The leadership-level and staff- level collaborations are on-going processes and help build relationships. We are open to consultation at any time during the process, at the Tribe’s request. • Although the Forest is currently in pre-NEPA planning, we have been honoring the intent of NEPA’s public engagement from the beginning. We have spent three years collaborating at the staff-level and are at a point to shift from the staff-level to the leadership/decision making level with each tribe. • When asked if site information shared with the Forest would be subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) the Forest explained there is a process to exempt certain sensitive topics (cultural areas, endangered wildlife habitat, etc.) from FOIA. • “Five P’s” - In collaboration, conversation often gets stuck around the five P’s: Political (represented or elected officials), Policy (political appointees, leadership/administrators), Program management (ex. NEPA, Section 106), Project management (specific project appointees), Public (general public). eW need to ensure that communication is happening across these levels. In order to do that, it is important to know who the people are at each level for each stakeholder. What advice do you have for the FS to effectively engage the full community? -- Communication, Community Involvement, and Tribal Interaction: » Communication: ◊ Language/literacy barriers - The general public of each tribe may have difficulty responding during public comment periods because of language/literacy barriers. ◊ Reaching the public – Some members live in remote areas and may not get the information in time or may not know when to comment. ◊ Interpretation – Use interpreters to ensure information is available in their native tongue. ◊ Generational issues – There can be generational gaps/misunderstandings (younger interpreter may not have traditional knowledge to effectively pass on information to Elders). » Unnecessary permitting for traditional use. » Education – You need to start at the bottom if you are going to inform the general public. Examples shared of education of youth through summer camps, where what is on the land can be taught and explained. It’s helpful to have FS support for these types of efforts.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 3 »» Political Turnover – It is an election year for the Navajo Nation. There are six months left in the current administration and then, potentially, political turnover may take place. FS will need to orient the new leaders. It is important to maintain relationships/continuity through these changes. »» Community Involvement: ◊ FS presence with the community is important to encourage engagement. If they don’t know you, they won’t participate. Come to tribal events (Bear Dances throughout the month, the Shoshone Reunion) and be available to talk. If you show up and try to participate, they’ll remember you. But remember that some of these events are not just for fun, they are for healing. Ask questions to get guidelines. ◊ When participating in events: -- Understand the purpose of events/dance. -- Understand ceremonies are for healing. -- Know that there are rules for ceremonies. -- Understand that there are major and minor ceremony categories (some with seasonal importance). -- Participate with respect and honor. -- Social dances are open to everyone. -- Ceremonial dances may not be open to everyone and may have strict rules and guidelines for participation. -- Be respectful to ceremonial/social events. -- Be careful/ask questions. ◊ Increase your visibility: -- Be in FS uniform. -- Creative idea to build a float for events and parades. -- Bring Smokey Bear to the Bear Dance. -- Be creative with approaches that will be remembered and talked about. -- Presentations/booths are always good and welcomed. -- Host a community session at an event. -- Focus on/create interest for the younger generation. »» Tribal Government Authority – The first step should be meeting with the government authority of each tribe and asking them how they’d like to engage. Consider: ◊ Do they need assistance from FS staff to engage others? ◊ Follow the lead of the Tribe. Each Tribe will be different and has a different history with the FS. ◊ Ask the Tribe to define the purpose/method of engagement. ◊ Do they want the FS to do the work, or provide funding for the Tribe to pull together a team to work with the raw data and then give it to the FS? »» Tribes have distinct and individual relationships – Identify the dynamics of the tribe and respect sovereignty. Federal governments are looking for efficiency; however, relationships with tribes are essential. Because each tribe is a sovereign nation, each needs its own individualized attention. You need to have great dexterity of the trust relationship and apply it to each tribe and its leadership. »» General Open House that is not tied to an issue – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had a general open house twice a year to build relationships, update tribes about staff changes, and describe the main priorities and work plan for the year. There’s also a social component—getting to know each other. Introduce the upcoming projects that will have formal consultation. »» Yearly training on the Federal Trust Relationship for FS employees by representatives from multiple tribes. »» Integrate the entire tribal community – Include elected leadership, spiritual leadership, and Elders. People gain more insight into comportment, tone, and carriage, as well as learning about the laws and regulations. »» Presentations are always good at tribal meetings. The community is always interested. We rarely get anybody to come to White Mesa, so people are interested. The younger generation particularly wants to see it. »» Go to Elders and the Medicine Leaders first, then the elected leaders, and do it soon.Tribes are losing a lot of Elders and Medicine People to advanced age and health issues. As you go to them, get an understanding of their perspective.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 4 » Have patience. Patience is a virtue. » Chapter Level vs. Tribal-Government Level – Reach the chapter/band level ◊ Look at individual chapters and identify the five P’s at each chapter. Don’t just lump a Tribe. Each chapter will be different. » It is important for federal and the state government understand that each tribe is unique and communicates differently with their communities. Timelines are different – some meet daily, monthly, every other month. If the tribe needs to get information back to their chapters/bands to share with the full community, it will take two to three months. » We are entering a new phase of land management where a lot of tribes are looking at having a public lands advocacy office or rely on NGOs. Public lands are becoming more important in sustaining cultural activities. Tribes also have to manage their own lands. Look at different mechanisms to provide funding/resources to help tribes with off-reservation planning. III. Overview of the Manti-La Sal National Forest (Charmaine Thompson) Reference: Presentation Slides 13-33 • The Forest is comprised of forested islands created at the request of local communities to protect watersheds. It is very much connected to the communities around it. The Forest acknowledges historic tribal ranges, and uses that to engage stakeholders instead of current physical locations. That’s how we think of the Forest, how we want to manage it, and why we need your help. • As land managers, we think about mosaics of resources on the ground, including social and economic connections. • This afternoon and throughout the process, we’d like to hear how the Forest contributes to your well-being. What matters to you and to your communities?

IV. Overview of the Plan Revision Process (Megan Eno) Reference: Presentation Slides 34-64, Workbook pgs. 8-17, Assessment • There are three main phases to FPR. The Forest started on the Assessment in 2016 and are now shifting to Phase II where the FS will write the forest plan. FS are setting up meetings and workshops to do this together. We will start sharing drafts and want to review them together. • After sharing the Assessment, FS heard that people wanted to see more of themselves in the Assessment. The cultural sensitivity comments from the Hopi were really helpful. • We are currently in the evaluation phase for Wilderness. We wrote a draft evaluation report (what we know) and made it available for public comment in February 2018. We received lots of feedback and are now making edits accordingly. • We just completed determining eligibility and assigning classifications for Wild and Scenic Rivers. 1.2 miles of Duck Fork Creek is eligible. • We need to design plan components that protect and manage for Species of Conservation Concern. We’d like to hear if any of the listed species are of concern to you. • In Phase II of plan development, our specialists are working to develop plan components with input from partners and the public. Plan components are comprised of desired future conditions (our vision for what we’d like to see) and objectives (how we get there). • The proposed Area of Tribal Importance is a specific management area to address cultural resources. The boundary is along watershed boundaries and the area includes high densities of known cultural sites. • Discussion: » The proposed Area of Tribal Importance is informed by existing survey data. The Forest has 4,000 documented sites. We’re mostly talking about conventional archaeological sites. They represent about 20% of lands. About 80% is still unsurveyed. We know there are a whole lot more out there. What we don’t know is much larger than what we do know. This gap could be an opportunity to include in the plan components.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 5 »» Hunting trails and sacred sites are missing. »» There is the tangible heritage (physical site) and the intangible (what it all means). The intangible context/ knowledge is necessary to know how to manage the physical sites. You can’t write a good plan that supports these cultures without the knowledge. It is difficult to balance the need to understand the intangible with the Tribes’ desire to keep the knowledge within the culture. The sacred sites are still active, and Governors are hesitant to disclose that information. You need to reassure Tribes of the confidentiality/security of the information, and that it won’t all go public. »» The FS is open to taking a landscape approach, not targeting specific sites.This is also beneficial because the sites are interconnected. »» Suggest looking into looting prevention and enforcement, and associated training. »» Animals are missing. Animals are very important to tribes. ◊ Tribal species of conservation concern. »» Ancestral lands – Have a good understanding and representation of historical/ancestral lands. »» The FS is interested in considering current and possible future uses.

V. Developing Plan Components for Areas of Tribal Importance (Megan Eno) Reference: Presentation Slides 65-68, Workbook pgs. 18-28 • Workshop participants broke into two groups to discuss the following questions: »» Where would you draw lines on maps that identify places of concern (areas, plant communities, springs, land forms, etc.)? »» What do you want these areas to look like now and into the future? »» What kinds of other activities would you prefer to see and not see happen in these areas? »» How can we turn your vision for these areas into active management direction in the Forest plan? • Discussion items from Group 1: »» Most of the rock art is off the forest. The sites are distributed where the rock is. Most sites on the Forest are not habitation sites, except Polar Mesa Cave, which was a long-term camp. The site was badly looted in the 1980s and was the first Archaeological Resource Protection Act (ARPA) case that used DNA evidence to convict. »» The Forest does not have many other ARPA successful cases (if any) because it is tough to make the connection between evidence and people. Most of the looting is happening in the Abajo/Elk Ridge area. There’s less looting in Moab because there’s more open space. The Forest checks sites annually and calls law enforcement if there is any evidence of looting. The main damage to sites is from casual visitors, who take home souvenirs, pile up pot shards, lean on walls, etc. »» The Forest has monitoring report data, but it’s tough to get publicity or fundraising from it. Partners could help with this. »» Public education is ongoing and the Forest hopes to ramp it up with the new plan. A Tribal voice expressing concern makes a huge impact on visitors and is more effective than hearing from an archaeologist.This could be another partnership opportunity. Utah Diné Bikéyah could help put together a video. »» The Forest has an opportunity to tell better stories about what happened in the past on the land. Example given of the Pinhook Battleground site near Moab. Previous versions have focused on the Anglo perspective. How does the Forest tell the tribal perspective? The FS wants to honor the history and share the story if it services the land. How does it do this in the right way? Options include sending drafts to Tribes to get their perspectives and/or telling how the story was told in the past and way. Ask the FS asks questions and information, it must remember that this can be very emotional and painful. Do the ends justify the means? »» The FS protects all sites possible since National Register eligibility can change. The sites indicated on the map include National Register-eligible sites and others. A site generally consists of at least ten artifacts, among different classes of artifacts. There is some flexibility, but physical manifestation on the ground (such

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 6 as physical objects) is the main thing. The Forest documents trees, roads, and trails that look like they’ve been used historically. It also thinks about history and is careful in areas where it knows something happened, even if there’s nothing visible on the ground. The Forest is open to managing for things that aren’t visible because they matter just as much. »» Utah Diné Bikéyah is working on a traditional foods assessment with Elders for the region. It has done cultural mapping before and there are a lot of areas of interest to Elders in this region. It will be important to get data for the full area and from different Tribes since they have different knowledge. Some of this information is very sensitive. The Forest is looking at a landscape level to protect site-specific information. Plants may be one way to do that and to ensure Tribes have the access they need. »» There has been conflict with permits in the past for tribal members.There is a need to educate about the process on both sides to avoid conflict. If a tribal member is taking a small amount of a plant, a permit shouldn’t be necessary. It should be easy. »» The FS is asking for more input to help write plan a good plan components that address Tribal needs of the Forest. How can the FS get the necessary information? The Forest has tried to take the information it has received to date to inform the proposed management area boundary and management options. An initial set of draft plan components are currently being written. There is an opportunity now for Tribes to help write those components into the draft plan. If the Forest doesn’t get contributions, it will write the components as best as it can with the available information and Tribes will be able to review those draft components. There will be time to adjust as we go. »» Tribes went through a long negotiation to agree on the Bears Ears boundary, which overlaps with the Forest. The Forest is considered the center of this cultural landscape. It has already been discussed – where the resources are and the historic things that happened. It shouldn’t be hard to piece it back together and you know that all the Tribes are already behind it. All of the Monticello Ranger District should be considered as part of the proposed management area. If the FS wants a different boundary, it will need to engage Tribal leaders. It’s a political decision, and it will take time. »» The new plan will be written with Forest-level management actions applicable to the full Forest. A proposed management area will have additional, specific management actions.There can be cultural resource plan components that cover the full forest. »» This entire part of the Forest is used for healing practices. How does the FS manage for that? The public needs to be given some sort of tool to understand the significance. What types of interpretive methods are appropriate? Signs, youth education programs with community service and storytelling elements, partnerships with schools and/ or the State, maybe a sweat lodge. It is important to provide access, but also keep the area pristine. »» Tribes have thousands of plants and animals of significance, more than the Species of Conservation Concern lists. The FS isn’t limited to writing plan components to these lists, but it’s a start to find commonality. • Discussion items from Group 2: »» WANT THE AREA TO STAY AS IT WAS DAY ONE. »» In being presented a map and shown the Forest’s proposed area of Tribal importance; the tribes regarded this as “handcuffing yourself.” Tribes would like to see flexibility in the forest planning. Lines and dots on a map are limiting. »» San Juan Southern Paiute sites not mapped. »» Moab Ridge along Spanish Valley has sensitive sites along the ridge. ◊ Petroglyphs. ◊ Moab lithic/pueblos sites. »» Tribes view of management is from an area approach. This keeps it open for additional findings. Sections do not account for the landscape/tribal viewpoint. »» The Tribes want flexibility to amend.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 7 » The Tribes expressed a “lost in translation” scenario of Tribal perception vs. agency view point. Tribal Holistic view point. » Do not pin point a certain area. » Define the cultural landscapes; plants and formations at are important. » Solutions to address increasing visitation in order to protect resources. Regulating trails and limiting random trail creation. Limit new trails. » Volunteer opportunities via trail maintenance or trash clean-up activities. ◊ Tracks (ATV, 4x4 and others) increasing. ◊ Trash increasing (ex. Butler Wash). ◊ Ripe for youth engagement. » Regulate access and enforcement (noted as lacking enforcement). ◊ Trails; ATV, 4x4. ◊ 4x4 use out of control. ◊ Horseback riding (increase). » Preserve > Regulate > Enforce » Navajo Reservations are lacking water. Medicinal plants are disappearing/limited and only available in the high country. Request to preserve the high country as much as possible. » Are drought and environmental data trends tracked and monitored? ◊ Yes, all environmental data is monitored. » Plant migration due to drought and environmental changes (sky and ground). Lines (maps) limit management practices. » Comb Ridge Rest Area – hike to the wash: ◊ Various tribes are forbidden to enter ruins. ◊ Safety issues with people climbing 40 foot to ruins. ◊ Disturbance of historic sites. » Signage: ◊ Help inform to end trash being left at sites. ◊ No collecting of artifacts. ◊ Stay on designated trails or routes (no new routes). ◊ No climbing (in certain areas). » No mining, timber, pot ash, no fake snow or ski areas. » No gravel pits. » Limit livestock grazing to certain areas. » Increased programs to preserve/restore ponderosa pine. » Manage overabundance of pinyon/juniper. » Wilderness – applied tree projects. » Know and understand tribal plans for wildfire prevention and fuels reduction. » Limit hunting access and associated ATV and random shooting. » Tribal uses:

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 8 ◊ Ceremonial uses. ◊ Medicine Men Association. ◊ Areas for tribal use only (i.e. medicine men). ◊ Tribe administers programs for plant and wood gathering. Accountability/permitting. Could be seasonally granted. »» Treaty rights (right/access): ◊ Opportunity for long term consult. ◊ Tribe issued hunting permits – inherent right. ◊ Need to research existing Treaty Right to match and integrate into land management. »» Tourist activities: ◊ Guided and managed tourist sites. ◊ Education to maintain ecosystems. ◊ Guided big game hunts and selection process. ◊ Multicultural/multi-tribal way to experience Bear’s Ears (and landscape). »» Guided by individual tribes (Ute guide, Navajo guide, Hopi guide). »» Site specific and limiting: ◊ Controlled viewpoints/overlooks. »» Guide public to main sites. »» Avoid and keep truly scared sites sacred: ◊ Tribal guides. »» Tribal Youth Viewpoint: ◊ Trash everywhere; need clean-up programs. ◊ Overlooks: Picture taking opportunities from a distance to limit visitation and site disturbance. ◊ Agency interactions should equal a memorable experience in small outreaches. ◊ Better education/Youth education center. »» Situational: Before/after/the future. »» Holistic: Connection to the landscape. »» Visual and meaningful. »» Community involvement. »» Agency sponsor events and clinics in cooperation with tribes, »» Healing Ceremony: ◊ Long walk 150-year Anniversary: 1 June. ◊ Apology Letter (U.S. government apology letter to tribes). Point made that letters have been sent to other communities (example of American-Japanese interned during World War II) for certain atrocities, but the tribes have not received anything. »» Tribes want to see a continued relationship building: ◊ This is only the first step/meeting. ◊ Atmosphere of open dialog. ◊ Active and creative management. »» Tribes want to avoid being lumped together. They are different and have different issues/concerns.

FPR – Tribal Workshop: Agenda & Summarized Notes, May 15, 2018 9 • Key themes from the break-out groups included: Interpretation and education, plants (inventory, monitoring, permitting), wildfire prevention, recreation (related to density, impacts on cultural resources), firewood, grazing, access/hunting (maintaining access for tribal members, limiting access for hunters/general public). • Discussion: » Tribes don’t want petroleum industries, mining, or ski resorts in the Forest. » There’s a lot of deep knowledge about what the Forest looked like historically. It should be a place that’s “doused with prayer.” The country is reactivated through prayer. Elders have history and knowledge that could describe what these places looked like and the relationship with the community, which could be important for writing the forest plan. Narrative is an essential part of the process and traditional ecological knowledge could be integrated. The Inter-Tribal Coalition would support this approach. » How does the FS tap into this? There are people with the National Park Service (Kim Greenwood, Denver) and the Fish & Wildlife Service (Scott Agent) who have experience. Deliberate with tribes (Raymond Jim Redhouse was listed as a key stakeholder to do this). FS ask what these tribal representatives would like to highlight and what can be integrated into the FPR. » Would the FS be supportive of tribal educational internships as it moves forward with planning? College students could be involved, perhaps working part-time with the Forest Service and part-time with the Inter-Tribal Coalition. The Coalition could put assets towards this. We could work towards this in the next 6-12 months.

VI. Workshop Re-Cap & Next Steps (Megan Eno) Reference: Presentation Slides 69-72, Workbook pg. 7, 29-30 • Our intention today was to describe the process, listen to your thoughts, come together for common understanding, and talk about next steps. • The FS will be at several upcoming meetings, providing opportunities for consultation and/or presentations. » Utah Tribal Leaders Meetings: June 7-8 in Cedar City, August 9-10. » Navajo Utah Commission: June 12 in Mexican Water. » Governor’s Summit: July 17-18 in Orem. • Request for tribal help in getting FS invited to events. Potential meetings to attend include: » Treaty Day: June 1. » Shoshone Reunion: July 23-25 in Ignacio. » 4th Annual Summer Gathering: July 20-22 in Bears Ears Meadow. • The weeks of June 25, July 9, and July 30 are open for staff work and/or consultation. • The FS is available to conduct site visits, including with youth. • The FS would like to know if you are undertaking activities on your lands that we should take into account. It would be good to engage FS staff with you to learn what you’re doing. • What do we want to do more of in the future? What would the group like to see for next steps? » Continue to grow/learn from each other. » More communication like today – make it strong. » There’s potential to write a new plan that weaves in traditional ecological knowledge of Elders into plan – is there room for that? How deep can it go? » It would be good to get more representatives from other tribes, involve more tribal stakeholders. » Continue to look at other perspectives (traditional ecological knowledge). » Take data back to tribes in New Mexico to share with Governors. » Regulation policies and how they will be enforced.
