Hanford Cultural Resources
Tribal staffs are regularly consulted at the earliest opportunity for recommendations and advice on DOE-RL activities potentially affecting tribal rights and interests. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, the Nez Perce Tribe and the Wanapum are involved in DOE-RL Tribal Affairs and the Cultural Resources Program to assess cultural resources and issues at the Hanford Site. Interactions among DOE, contractor and tribal staffs occur in a collegial atmosphere. Tribal people routinely access portions of the Hanford Site for cultural resource reviews, monitoring cleanup activities and traditional religious practices. The DOE and the Tribes view the interactions between the DOE-RL and individual tribes as an appropriate government-to-government relationship.
