原住民日：霍布斯与亚利桑那部落领袖联名反对联邦削弱历史文化保护审查
凤凰城消息：在原住民日（10月12日），亚利桑那州州长凯蒂·霍布斯与该州部落领袖联名致信特朗普总统的历史保护咨询委员会（ACHP），要求撤回一项拟议中的联邦规则修订，并就相关事项与各州和部落民族进行有意义的协商。
争议源于《国家历史保护法》第106条的实施规则。过去60年来，该条款要求联邦机构在出资、许可或建设项目之前，评估其行动对文化和历史场所的影响，州和部落政府可参与决策。今年7月，ACHP推进了对该规则近乎全面的重写：拟移除州和部落的发言渠道，并把联邦审查范围限定为项目直接影响的区域。部落方面担心，文化景观和圣地所受的视觉与环境影响今后将不再被纳入考量。
霍布斯表示，联邦的修订将不必要地损害亚利桑那州的祖先遗址和历史保护工作。华拉派部落主席杜安·克拉克称这些改变「前所未有且毫无必要」，可能导致文化遗址和财产被破坏，并为可能永久毁坏部落资源和土地的项目开绿灯加速。

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, Hobbs and Arizona Tribal Leaders Oppose Federal Rollback of Historic Preservation Review
PHOENIX — On Indigenous Peoples' Day, Oct. 12, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and tribal leaders across the state sent a joint letter to the President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), calling on the council to withdraw a proposed federal rule change and conduct meaningful consultation with states and Tribal Nations.
For the last 60 years, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has required federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on cultural and historic places before funding, permitting or building a project, giving states and tribal governments a voice in decisions that affect them. In July, the ACHP advanced a near-complete rewrite of the implementing rules that would remove state and tribal input and limit federal review to areas physically or directly affected by a project — meaning tribal concerns about visual and atmospheric effects on cultural landscapes and sacred sites would no longer be taken into account.
"We should work to protect our treasured landmarks and cultural heritage for future generations," Hobbs said, adding that the proposed revisions would needlessly harm Arizona's ancestral sites. Hualapai Tribe Chairman Duane Clarke called the changes unprecedented and unnecessary, warning they could fast-track projects that destroy tribal resources and lands forever.
