ABOUT SECTION 106
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to consider how projects they fund, permit, or approve could affect historic and culturally significant places. The process provides an important opportunity for Tribal Nations to be consulted when federal actions may affect places of religious or cultural significance.

The Association, together with the National Congress of American Indians , the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers , and the United South and Eastern Tribes, Inc. Sovereignty Protection Fund has issued a joint statement in strong support of protecting the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Section 106 gives Tribal Nations a seat at the federal decision-making table, helping protect sacred places, ancestral lands, burial places, and cultural landscapes before federal decisions become irreversible. Proposed revisions to 36 C.F.R. Part 800 would expand federal agency discretion, weaken meaningful government-to-government consultation, and fall short of the federal government's trust and treaty obligations.

Once a sacred place is destroyed or ancestral remains are disturbed, consultation after the fact cannot restore what has been lost. Our organizations stand united to ensure Section 106 is strengthened, not weakened.
