Alaska Native Corporations and Government to Corporation Consultation
“Created under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 USC Chapter 33), these corporations manage lands and resources for Alaska Natives. While not federally recognized Indian tribes, consultation is required with these organizations in some instances as if they were Indian tribes pursuant to Public Laws 108-199 and 108-447 directing all Federal agencies to consult with Alaska Native Corporations on the same basis as Indian tribes under Executive Order 13175. This type of consultation is considered government-to-corporation, rather than government-to-government” (FSM 1563.05).

Consolidant Consolidants and adhesives are used in materials conservation to impregnate and strengthen materials or to repair pieces that are broken. Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) is one chemical formulation that can be used to glue objects, but also, when diluted, can be used to impregnate materials to strengthen them. Elmer’s Glue is one example of a PVA.
Cultural Resources “An object or definite location of human activity, occupation, or use identifiable through field survey, historical documentation, or oral evidence.

Preservation Standard Under the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties there are four levels of intervention. The Preservation Standard requires the retention of the greatest amount of historic fabric, along with the building’s historic form, features and detailing as they have evolved over time. This standard has the least amount of flexibility and discourages addition of new materials and features to historic buildings and structures.
Rehabilitation Standard
Under the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties there are four levels of intervention. The Rehabilitation Standard acknowledges the need to alter or add to a historic building to meet continuing or new uses while retaining the building’s historic character. This standard allows for some flexibility in adding new features and modern materials to historic buildings and structures.
Replacement In Kind
Under the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatement of Historic Properties, ‘replacement in kind’ refers to matching the old feature in composition, design, color and texture.

Sacred Place “Any specific location on National Forest System land, whether site, feature, or landscape, that is identified by an Indian tribe, or the religious societies, groups, clans, or practitioners of an Indian tribe, as having important spiritual and cultural significance to that entity, greater than the surrounding area itself. Sacred places may include but are not limited to geological features, bodies of water, burial places, traditional cultural places, biological communities, stone and earth structures, and cultural landscapes uniquely connecting historically important cultural sites, or features in any manner meaningful to the identifying Tribe” (FSM 1563.05).
Sacred Site “As identified in Executive Order 13007, any specific, discrete, narrowly delineated location on Federal land that is identified by an Indian tribe, or Indian individual determined to be an appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian religion, as sacred by virtue of its established religious significance to, or ceremonial use by, an Indian religion; provided that the tribe or appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian religion has informed the Agency of the existence of such a site.” (FSM 1563.05).
