摘要: |
Native American issues were brought to the Transportation Research Board's Historic Preservation Committee (A1F05) over 7 years ago. Traditional cultural properties are important to Native Americans, as are all aspects of transportation, including economic development, safety, right-of-way, sovereignty, jurisdiction, and training. The Subcommittee on Native American Issues in Transportation was formed to facilitate discussion, research, and illustrations of best practices concerning transportation issues on tribal lands. The subcommittee resolved at the 1999 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting to have a conference that focused on the complexity of broad transportation issues of importance for Native American nations. The subcommittee chose improving communication between governments as the topic for the conference. This Circular contains the conference presentations. The best practice cases as told by experienced transportation professionals and tribal leaders illustrate how to begin effective government-to-government relationships. Successful case studies demonstrate that the best way to involve other parties in project ideas and have a comfortable resolution is to first have an ongoing relationship between the non-tribal and tribal professional transportation staff. Speakers suggest that all sides are responsible for knowing their counterparts and developing this professional transportation relationship. Tribal-state-federal relationships around transportation program management and operations issues are relatively recent phenomena. The presence of tribal officials in the dialogue has emerged only in the past 20 years with no clear national support, financial or institutional. Understandably this new paradigm for decision making and regional programming for transportation infrastructure must go through a growing stage. Some of the presentations contain strong statements, which naturally arise as participants in the "new paradigm" sort out their roles and learn to work effectively. The Circular also contains a summary of the eight workshop sessions, a description of the field trip to the pueblo of Acoma, a glossary, appendixes containing the conference program and attendees, and welcome letters by New Mexico Governor Gary E. Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Pete K. Rahn. |
