Regional Ecosystem Office (REO) - Northwest Forest Plan
Interagency Regional Monitoring: Tribal Program
The tribal monitoring program addresses conditions, trends, and access to resources protected by treaty or of interest to American Indian tribes, the condition of and access to religious and cultural heritage site, and the quality of the government-to-government relationship. The basic monitoring questions are:
- How well and to what degree is government-to-government consultation being conducted under the Northwest Forest Plan?
- Have the goals and objectives of the consultation been achieved?
- Is the consultation occurring because of effects on resources of tribal interest on federal lands or trust resources on tribal lands?
Monitoring information is collected with an interview process using a standardized questionnaire with tribal government representatives.
