What role will Indian tribes have in the development of the RMP?
Indian tribes have historically used the lands that are now under Reclamation’s jurisdiction. The US government has a unique relationship with Indian tribes because of various treaties, statutes, and executive orders that have been implemented over the years. Because of this important relationship, Reclamation will discuss and consider tribal concerns during the development of the RMP. Reclamation has met with the Sho-Ban Tribes early on in the planning process and will continue to do so over the course of developing the plan.
