Designed for use by American Indian tribes, archaeologists, law enforcement officials, local/state/federal administrators in charge of cultural resources management matters, and the general public, this handbook has been compiled to serve as a practical guide to protecting American Indian cultural resources in Oregon. The book brings together information on all major state and federal antiquities laws for review and comparison. Parts I and II contain descriptions of major provisions of significant state and federal cultural resources laws affecting Indian burial sites, archaeological sites and objects, classification of historic properties, scenic waterways, and conservation easements with suggestions for their practical application. Parts III and IV provide information which may facilitate cooperation and coordination between tribes, archaeologists, agencies, etc., including identification of Oregon tribes and tribal contacts. Part V details information helpful in reporting criminal violations of cultural resources protection laws. Part VI is a bibliography of resources which may be helpful in gaining further understanding of cultural resources protection laws and designing and managing protection systems. Part VII presents copies of most state and federal statutes discussed in this handbook. With the exception of the Oregon Indian Burial Law and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, all laws are equally applicable to non-American Indian cultural resources. (Author/NEC)
