Tanana Chiefs Conference: CRM in a Tribal Consortium, Interior Alaska

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) is a tribal consortium of 37 federally recognized Tribes and five village associations across subarctic Interior Alaska. Based in Fairbanks, the agency represents tribal membership across most of the Yukon River basin and the Upper Kuskokwim river basin. TCC manages a self-governance compact with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for trust services and provides supplemental cultural resources management services in collaboration with state, federal and other tribal organizations. Through the compact, cultural resources management services are provided to restricted landowners of Native allotments and village townsites in and between the membership communities. Since the federal archaeology function was assumed by the tribal agency in the middle 1990s, a broad range of services and projects are in a cultural resources portfolio. Multiple services and projects will be highlighted including field inventories across the region, data recovery projects, field school sessions, tribal consultations, collaborative research, interagency land planning engagement and advocacy in federal and state environmental quality reviews.
