[CPEO-MEF] Interior Alaska Tribes and the Department of Defense

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Resource Solutions’ revised website features significant new research
about the government-to-government consultation process on military
impacts in Alaska.

In 2003, Tanana Chiefs Conference approached the U. S. Institute for
Environmental Conflict Resolution (USIECR) (http://www.ecr.gov) to
conduct a situation assessment and develop recommendations to enhance
government-to-government consultations between Interior Alaska Tribes
and the Department of Defense.  In 2004, Resource Solutions at the
University of Alaska Anchorage was chosen to conduct the assessment and
contracted with Dee Hunt of DCH Consulting to lead the project on behalf
of USIECR.

Although the findings and recommendations are based on the process in
Interior Alaska, they may also benefit others engaged in consultations
about military impacts. Recommendations focus on strengthening the
government-to-government relationship through developing a programmatic
approach to consultation, including a shared funding structure.

The final report entitled, Situation Assessment and Recommendations
for Government-to-Government Consultations between Interior Alaska
Tribes and the U. S. Department of Defense on Military Impacts in
Interior Alaska can be found at:
