Flip Charts

Flip Chart 1

Tribal Authority within the CRE

[Where Native American lands resources are in the CRE] [affected by AMP activities], (2) there may 

be access and economic development and other issues for the AMP. This pertains to the Navajo 

Nation, Havasupai Tribe, and the Hualapai Tribe. In order for the AMP to carry out its monitoring and 

research functions in the these areas, these access issues may need to be resolved, probably in other 

forums. 

This may impede the ability of the AMP to accomplish its goals 

Flip Chart 2

In addition, the AMP must be sensitive to the fact that its recommendations may have negative impacts 

on tribal economic development. Compliance with tribal laws is also an important consideration as the 

AMP proceeds.

Consultation through AMWG and TWG meetings with all affected tribes is vital to ensure 

accomplishment of AMP goals while minimizing negative impacts to the tribes.

Flip Chart 3

Where NA resources or access to NA lands may be affected by AMP activities (e.g., monitoring and 

research), the access and impact issues may need to be resolved through direct consultation with the 

appropriate tribal entity.

(1) When AMP activities take place on tribal lands, or have the potential to affect tribal resources, 

OKAY

(B) For example, when tribes need a less-public venue in which to share information, or if a tribe wishes 

for a group of elders to meet with federal agencies. (A) It may be advisable for the GCMRC,

Reclamation, ... tribes..., ... actively engaged in the AMP. OKAY

(C) The result ...
