Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Forest Resources Management Act: Hearing Before the Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session I will now highlight what I consider to be our most important findings. First, tribal members and leaders place a high value on forest resource protection, and prefer an integrated approach be taken to managing all forest resources. They recognize that the for est supports many uses and values. They understand their forests and want to keep them healthy while using them. Second, few tribal members or bia foresters believe that current forest resource management on Indian lands is good or excellent. Areas that seem to be most in need of improvement were grazing, recreation, water, non-timber forest products and protection from pollution waste, poaching, and as the Senator mentioned, trespass ing, among others. Third, the administrative relationship between the u.s. Govern ment and each tribal government is the key factor affecting the ability of the tribes to meet their forest management goals. Trust responsibility in relation to forests has not been clearly defined and this makes communication about it difficult and the evaluation of the adequacy of forest management even more difficult.
