Programmatic Agreement Among the National Park Service, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers Regarding Cultural Resources Grants and Financial Assistance

Chairman's Message America's past is alive and is all around us. It affects our present lives, and it influences the course of the future. But honoring and appreciating the past does not mean immersing ourselves in it, much less freezing it as a series of static or interactive museum displays. We live very much in the present and build for the future, but we know that yesterday can enrich modern lives, as it gives us a better sense of where we came from and where we are going.

A key responsibility of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is to administer the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), a review process that ensures historic properties are considered during the development of any federal project. The ACHP’s Office of Federal Agency Programs (OFAP) coordinates this responsibility.

In 2000, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) adopted a Policy Statement Regarding the Council’s Relationships with Indian Tribes that included a commitment to develop a plan for translating policy into action. This Action Plan on ACHP Native American Initiatives has been prepared in response to that obligation as well as the ACHP Chairman’s commitment to take steps to improve the ACHP’s and other Federal agencies’ interaction and communication with Native peoples.
