FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Tanana Chiefs Conference inked a first-of-its-kind self-governance funding agreement with four federal bureaus Oct. 16 in Anchorage.
The agreement incorporates and builds on a self-governance 1994 compact involving TCC and DOI. Ridley said some details about the funding mechanisms by which TCC will carry out projects and programs still need teasing out but that he anticipates some of the first major budget items will involve adding new positions to tackle the programs.
The new compact also lays down reporting and communication standards for SOWs and is designed to ensure “Tribal participation in landscape and watershed planning within or directly affecting the region.” The agreement says that stipulation includes comprehensive conservation planning in the National Wildlife Refuge.
