Selected Policies, Guidance, and Procedures
for working with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes:

Sacred Sites

• Executive Order No. 13007 -- Indian Sacred Sites

• Departmental Manual -- Departmental Responsibilities for Protecting/Accommodating Access to Indian Sacred Sites, 512 DM 3  (6/5/1998)

• ECM97-2 – Departmental Responsibilities for Indian Trust Resources and Indian Sacred Sites on Federal Lands (5/08/1997)

• Bureau of Reclamation Compliance with Indian Sacred Sites Executive Order No. 13007 (September 16, 1998, memorandum from the Commissioner)

• Bureau of Reclamation Guidance for Implementing Indian Sacred Sites Executive Order (No. 13007), dated September 16, 1998

• Bureau of Reclamation NEPA Handbook – Reclamation's NEPA Handbook is currently being revised.  When the final is available, it is anticipated that the implementation of EO 13007 will be incorporated into the Handbook.  In the interim, a 2000 Public Review Draft is available, which will give a sense as to how this might be accomplished, although the text could change before the final manual is published.
