(1) Guiding Principles

(A) The people are a part of the ecosystem, rather than apart from it. The Tribe

has managed these forests since time immemorial and will continue to do so

using a combination of traditional and contemporary active management

techniques.

(B) Forest management will include active management across the entire forest

and across all age classes.

that are underrepresented on the Tribal Forest.

(D) Forest management activities will follow a holistic approach, managing for a

variety of benefits and values beyond timber production including clean water,

biological and structural forest diversity, healthy fish and wildlife populations,

aesthetics, cultural restoration, and spiritual wellbeing.

(E) Harvest prescriptions and schedules will be developed with the intent of

providing a balanced mix of early, mid, and late-serial forest conditions that

meets the needs of the Tribe while also creating a diverse mix of stand ages

and conditions to provide habitat for all of the species with whom the Tribe

shares the forest.

(F) Forest management will provide for a diversity of the attributes that the Tribal

Membership values including hunting opportunities, gathering opportunities,

clean air and water, healthy fish runs, and opportunities for Tribal Members to

connect with and learn from the Tribal Forest.

(G) Older forests will be sustainably managed and harvested in a way that

maintains or increases the extent of older age classes across the Tribal

Forest over time. This will be accomplished by managing long rotation

intervals, retention of legacy components during harvest, and a focus on

managing for biological and structural diversity.

(H) Regeneration harvest prescriptions and timelines will focus on creating

complex early-serial conditions that provide a diverse bounty of culturally

important species such as deer, elk, edible plants and berries, and medicinal

plants.

(I) The Tribal Forest will be managed under the principle of sustained yield, to

produce a continuous and steady supply of timber revenue to support crucial

Tribal services.

(J) The Tribal Forest will serve as an example for the general public as well as

non-tribal forest managers, blending traditional and contemporary ecological

knowledge to demonstrate a balanced approach to forest management that

includes all ecosystem components.

(K) There will be an emphasis on educating and engaging Tribal youth, as well as

providing young people with opportunities to pursue educations and careers

in Tribal natural resources management.

(2) Federal Objectives

Federal management objectives are set forth in NIFRMA §3104(b):

(A) The development, maintenance, and enhancement of Indian forest land in

a perpetually productive state in accordance with the principles of

sustained yield and with the standards and objectives set forth in an FMP

by providing effective management and protection through the application

of sound silvicultural and economic principles to: the harvesting of forest

products, forestation, timber stand improvement and other forestry

practices.

(B) The regulation of Indian forest land through the development and

implementation, with the full and active consultation and participation of

the Tribe, of an FMP which is supported by written Tribal objectives and

forest marketing strategies.

good method and order in harvesting so as to make possible, on a

sustained yield basis, continuous productivity and a perpetual forest

business.

(D) The development of Indian forest land and associated value-added

industries to promote self-sustaining communities, so that the Tribe may

receive from their forest land not only stumpage value, but also the benefit

of all the labor and profit that such Indian forest land is capable of yielding.

(E) The retention of Indian forest land in its natural state when an Indian tribe

determines that the recreational, cultural, aesthetic, or traditional values of

the Indian forest land represents the highest and best use of the land.

(F) The management and protection of forest resources to retain the

beneficial effects to Indian forest land of regulating water run-off and

minimizing soil erosion.

(G) The maintenance and improvement of timber productivity, grazing,

wildlife, fisheries, recreation, aesthetic, cultural and other traditional

values.

Statement shall comply with the provisions of Article II of the Tribal Constitution.

10-2-9 Administration and Disbursement of Forest Products Receipts

Procedures shall be set forth in regulations promulgated for implementation of this Code

which provide for the receipts from the sale of forest products, less any amounts segregated

as forest management deductions, and other revenues derived from sale of use of forest

disbursement of forest products receipts while allowing the Secretary to maintain trust

responsibility that all required deposits, payments and disbursements have been properly

made.

10-2-10 Protection and Management of Non-Timber Forest Land Resources and Values

Forest land management activities under this Code shall be accomplished in a manner

Environmental Review Report, the CEO shall post a Notice of Completion

(“NOC”) and a copy of the draft Tribal Environmental Review Report on the

Tribe’s website in a publicly accessible format and /or provide to Tribal

Following completion of the environmental review process, the CEO shall make

one of the follow determinations:

(A) “Determination of No Significant Impact” means that the CEO upon

complying with all requirements of the TERR protocol has determined that

the proposed action will not result in significant adverse environmental

impacts; or

(B) “Determination of Mitigated Significant Impact” means the CEO upon

complying with all requirements of the TERR protocol requires mitigation

measures to reduce the action below the threshold of significant adverse

environmental impacts; or

engage in further efforts directed toward minimizing the magnitude of the

impact to the maximum extent practicable before proceeding with the

proposed action. These efforts may involve presenting new information,

adjusting the proposed course of action, exploring alternative options, or

incorporating new project design features or best management practices.

Tribal CEO shall issue future regulations, as necessary, to address new or changing forest

management needs and to provide essential regulatory requirements for conducting forest

management activities on tribal forest lands. The Tribal CEO may issue future regulations,
