Natural and Cultural Resources

Tribal Resource Impacts

Following the formation of the NCRRTF, it was clear that a more focused conversation about natural and cultural resources needed to occur with Oregon's nine federally recognized tribes. Each tribe was invited to participate in the NCRRTF. In addition, a Tribal Work Group of the NCRRTF was formed. This work group will:

  • Review assessments to determine if tribal cultural and natural resources are adequately reflected in the information provided.
  • Identify methods for tribes to participate in community-level conversations about fire recovery prioritization and investment.
  • Establish actions to communicate with tribes about upcoming work on federal/state lands, providing tribes the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to decision making on public lands.

Cultural Resource Impacts

The statewide heritage recovery efforts are coordinated with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office and partners from the local, state, federal and tribal levels. This subgroup is supporting heritage sites and the organizations that support them, including museums, historical societies, historic cemeteries, historic downtowns and archaeology sites. Resources:
