Grant Description

The Zuni participated in the process to identify, evaluate, monitor, and equally participate in the long-term management of all historic properties, sacred areas, and locations of traditional Zuni cultural use that are within the area affected by the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. The Tribeуs participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP) is essential to ensuring the tribal values are represented at the various program functions and to ensure effective government-to-government consultation on federal undertakings that may affect resources important to the Tribe. In the 2008, the Zuni Tribe conducted its first official year of implementation of the monitoring protocols and this work has been conducted annually ever since. This proposal anticipates the continued implementation of the Zuni monitoring protocols between 2014 through 2017. The activities to be conducted between 2014 and 2017 listed are below. Specific Tasks A. Conduct a monitoring river trip to observe the resources defined in the tribal protocol (Zuni traditional cultural properties, ancestral (archaeological) sites, petroglyph sites, animals, insects, minerals, plants, shrines, trails, springs, rivers, and water) B. Define the quantitative and qualitative measurements to be documented for these resources as specified in the extant protocols (see Zuni long term monitoring protocols submitted to Reclamation in 2008). C. Report any instances of impacts to resources that would require an emergency response.
