The attributes, quality, and values of cultural resources are examined with the processes of identification, evaluation, and impact assessment described in detail. Students receive an overview of Corps planning principles and guidelines focusing on the integration of cultural resource considerations with other resource planning and management activities. Attention is given to provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and other legislative and regulatory requirements. This course gives special consideration to the procedural requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA and the interrelationships of the agency, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the State Historic Preservation Office, and officials of Indian tribes. The program also offers an overview of the nature of Corps relations with Indian tribes including an understanding of the Trust relationship, government-to-government relations, treatment of Native American human remains and associated objects and Indian access to sacred sites. State-of-the-art field techniques, methodologies regional overviews, and data management are illustrated.
