Missoulian: Indian leaders share concerns about sacred sites
The Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to Hold
Listening Sessions on Sacred Sites in Indian Country
“The first of five in a series of listening sessions will
begin Monday, August 13, 2012. The Obama Administration recognizes that the
protection of sacred sites on federal lands is integral to traditional
religious practices, tribal identities and emblematic of sovereign tribal
nations. These sacred site listening sessions are intended to assist in
developing policies that result in effective, comprehensive and long-lasting
federal protection of, and tribal access to, the places that are so important
to the fabric and culture of tribal nations.”
