Representatives of nine tribal
governments and officials of tho
National Congress of American In
dians (NCAI) met with Secretary
Hazel O'Lcary of the US Department
of Energy (DOE) on May 13 to dis
cuss a list of concerns regarding DOE
policy and programs. Secretary
O'Lcary stated that she will respond
quickly to the issues presented.
"When Secretary O'Lcary became
aware of our request for a meeting
with tribal leaders and the NCAI, she
called to set up this historic meeting,"
said Michael Anderson, NCAI Ex
ecutive Director. To my knowledge,
it is the first meeting between a DOE
Secretary and the NCAI. We feel
confident Secretary O'Lcary will
work with tribal governments in a
positive way on energy-related issues
and will strive to fulfill the
Department's trust responsibility to
Indian tribes on cultural resource
protection and environmental qual
ity preservation and restoration," he
said.
The NCAI, established in 1944, is
the oldest national tribal advocacy
organization in the country.
The major point of discussion was
the DOE Indian Policy issued in De
cember 1991 and its implementation.
Some tribal leaders believe the Policy
needs fine tuning and would also like
to see Native Americans at senior
and programmatic levels to carry out
the implementation.
In response, Secretary O'Lcary
stated that it was not her style to do an
across the board implementation
without first seeing what will work.

Programs Director
In May 1988, Celeste Whitcwolf,
Tribal member of the Confederated
Tribes of Warm springs, graduated
form Lewis and Clark Law School.
She was the first female tribal member
to accomplish this goal. Whitewolf
"We need to focus and develop a
model, rather than to deploy (our
efforts) across the Department," she
said.
Anderson noted, The Secretary
views DOE Indian policy implemen
tation as a long process and has com
mitted to meet periodically on its
progress. We feel comfortable with
this approach."
The group also asked for DOE
support for amendments to the
American Indian Religious Freedom
Act (AIRFA) specifically to protect
Native American sacred sites that
may be jeopardized by DOE project
activities.
Other issues discussed included
early consultation with tribal leaders
on DOE budget formulations; aug
menting the budget and staff of the
FcdcrarPrcscrvauon Office to enable
that program to expand its efforts to
work directly with tribal officials on
cultural resource management issues;
increased outreach to tribal govem
mcntsfor alternative energy resource
development under Title XXIX of
Energy Policy Act of 1992; and ad
equate tribal funding to tribes par
ticipating in the DOE Environmental
Restoration and Waste Management
Program.
the issue of "affected status" of
tribes whose lands and resources are
impacted or potentially impacted by
the Yucca Mountain high level waste
repository project in Nevada was also
discussed. Under the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act of 1982, standards for a
tribe to have an "affected status" are
more stringent than those for states
T
and counties, even though Yucca
Mountain area tribes have closer
cultural and historical ties to the area
being characterized.
Representatives of tribes partici
pating in the meeting with Secretary
O'Lcary included: Calvin Myers,
Vice Chairman of the Moapa Band
of Paiutc Indians; Donna Powaukee,
Director of the Environmental Res
toration and Waste Manage Program
for the Ncz Perce Tribe; Edith Pacini,
Member of the Prairie Island Band of
Mowckanton Sioux Tribal Council;
J. Gilbert Sanchez, First Lieutenant
Governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo;
Brett J. 1 lay ball, Council member of
the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the
Fort Hall Indian Reservauon; Rich
ard Bear, Vice-Chairman, and Leon
Bear, Secretary-Treasurer, Skull

tribal attorney for the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Res
ervation, and Russell Jim, Project
Manager of the Environmental Res
toration Program for the Confeder
ated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima
