Tribal preservation Officers Listing http://grants.cr.nps.gov/thpo/tribaloffices.cfm The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), passed in 1969, calls for the federal government to invite the participation of any affected Native American tribe in the environmental review process. The Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), passed in 1979, requires federal agencies to consult with tribal authorities before permitting archeological excavations on tribal lands. It also mandates the confidentially of information concerning the nature and location of archeological resources, including tribal archeological resources. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended in 1992, enhanced Native American tribal roles in historic preservation and created the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) program. Federal agency obligation to consult with Native American tribal governments under Section 106 of NHPA is described here.
