Tribal Perspectives
- Pueblo of Zuni perspective on mechanical removal of non-native fish (2009)
- Managing Agencies Perspective
- Taking of life (fish or other) in the Colorado River, with some areas (LCR confluence) being especially sensitive from the tribal perspective. (NPS-CFMPEA_pg 124)
- NEPA and Silencing of Native American Worldview; presentation by Kurt Dongonske to the National Association of Environmental Professionals (2013)
- Here and There- The effects of upriver dams on indigenous peoples by Benedict Colombi (2014)
- NPS Link on Native American Perspectives and river trip orientation videos
- Land boundary concerns: Some interpretations of federal law hold that the Grand Canyon National Park boundary is at the high water mark of the river. Others hold that it stretches above the rim of the canyon. The issue has never been settled in court.
- Question: Are there some areas along the Colorado River that are considered by the tribes as "off-limits" to non-Indians? Answer: Yes.
- Executive Order 13007 states that a federal agency shall accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners and that the federal agency shall avoid adversely affecting the physical integrity of such sacred sites.
