Book excerpt: New and increasing threats to cultural heritage resources have pushed archaeologists, land managers, and Indigenous peoples to develop strategies to identify at-risk resources, determine condition, vulnerabilities, and value of said resources, and then provide mitigation and preservation prioritizations and recommendations for the future. One such strategy is the risk assessment approach. Typically, to guide ongoing and future management of vulnerable cultural resources, risk assessments consider preexisting archaeological data, alongside geomorphological and hydrological landform characteristics, to prioritize sites for preservation. While such assessments have been conducted around the globe, they have not been widely applied on the Lower Columbia of Oregon and Washington (U.S.A.), nor has a localized methodology been developed, particularly one that incorporates the perspectives and values of descendent communities, through a collaborative partnership. My research took such a collaborative approach to risk assessment, via a case study of the western shoreline of Sauvie Island, located on the Lower Columbia River, in partnership with one of several tribes with strong ties to the river, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. My project examined an area of cultural significance to develop a baseline prioritization assessment, using the novel strategy of waterborne survey via kayak to access my study area. I posed two primary research questions: 1) What forces negatively impacted cultural heritage resources? 2) How did tribal partners prioritize cultural resources for preservation? To address these questions, I conducted fieldwork over the course of several months along the ~34 km western shoreline of Sauvie Island, recording 18 archaeological sites, including 8 previously recorded sites and 10 newly identified ones. I recorded nearly 2,000 artifacts, as well as in situ cultural deposits, dateable features, and diagnostic artifacts. These elements of the physical archaeological assemblage factored into a series of six variables defining archaeological value. I also recorded factors which put each site at risk, such as erosion and modern cultural impacts. To obtain tribal input about their views of value, I had seven collaborative meetings with staff members of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) from the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. Through an iterative process of editing and review, we identified six variables that communicated how the Grand Ronde value cultural resources. Together, archaeological and tribal values and risk assessment scores were joined to create prioritization preservation scores for each of the 18 sites recorded during my project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides a framework for evaluating risks in Indian Country. All cultures depend on environmental quality for their survival, but the health of tribal communities and their individual members is so intertwined with their environment as to be inseparable. The foundation of risk assessment, characterization, and management in Indian Country rests on the federal trust responsibility to protect the people, their homelands, and their natural and cultural resources. Thus, tribal risk assessments must include the probabilities of adverse health, ecological, and cultural impacts in order to be relevant to the affected tribal community and government. This paper presents several environmentally-focused methods for evaluating overall tribal community health risk and eco-cultural health impacts. Elements of this environmentally-based risk assessment include a culturally-sensitive human exposure scenario, ecological risk assessment that includes species of cultural concern, the evaluation of impacts to environmental fonctions and services, measurement of impacts to socioeconomic and sociocultural health, and a risk characterization step that combines of all these risks and impacts in a way that tells the whole story about impacts to the place or resource from the community's trusteeship perspectives. While these elements are likely to be common to most tribal risk assessments, it must also be recognized that each tribe's ecology, history, culture, and government are unique, so every tribal risk assessment will be unique. Several ways to evaluate tribal community health and eco-cultural risk are presented that include environmental fonctions and services, sociocultural and socioeconomic health impact measurement, and risk characterization. It is hoped that by presenting some initial methods for characterizing and comparing risks that are relevant to tribal cultures and communities an interdisciplinary discussion will be sparked that brings together the disciplines of social impact assessment, comparative risk (quality of life), natural resource valuation, public health, and conventional toxicity-based risk assessment.

Book excerpt: The use of cultural resource data to improve the content and quality of the standard Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) socioeconomic profile and impact sections is illustrated. Emphasis is placed on an approach for identifying some kinds of potentially disruptive sociocultural changes in rural communities and ethnic groups that may be brought about by energy developments. The report is divided into three parts. Part one reviews the legislative reason for the EIS and problems with the current implementation of many socioeconomic studies. Part two explores how and why clutural resource data can be made meaningful for the EIS community studies and provides two case examples. Part three presents information for those who are not experts in cultural-resource management for quality control of usable culturalresource information.

Book excerpt: America's early 1900's dream of greening the western desert through irrigation drew hundreds of would-be farmers to the Columbia River hamlet of White Bluffs in Washington State. Yearning for a healthy, possibly lucrative life in the wild desert setting, they struggled with nature, railroads, power companies, commission houses, water systems and the ever-disappointing market. Through oral histories, letters, photographs and meticulous research, author Nancy Mendenhall tells the story of how, despite all the adversities, the orchardists built a remarkable, thriving community until it was cut short by events of World War Two. At times reading like an epic novel, this rich social history shows in detail the hard roles of pioneer women, children and their men, and delves deeply into their emotional and intellectual lives.
