Listed on this web page are the Federally recognized Native American Tribes with ancestral connections to Indiana and their designated contacts for Section 106 consultation. For Indiana projects on new alignment, all Federally Recognized Tribes with Land Area Claims in the counties affected by the project must be invited to participate in Section 106 consultation. The steps for identifying Tribe(s) to invite are:
Go to the Native American Consultation Database at http://www.cast.uark.edu/other/nps/nacd/.
In the Query area, make sure the "Report Type" selected is "Full Data", enter "Indiana" in the "State Name" Query Box, and click "Submit Query".
From the list of Federally Recognized Tribes generated, take note of the Tribes that have Land Area Claims in the County(s) that will be affected by the project's footprint.
The designated contact information on this web page has been coordinated with the tribe and is the most current. It should be used in lieu of the contact information provided on the Native American Consultation Database web site. The contact person identified on this web site is the person to whom the tribe wishes all correspondence be addressed.
Please provide any changes to the contact information listed on this web site to either Robert Dirks (317)226-7492 robert.dirks@fhwa.dot.gov, or Matt Fuller (317)226-5234 matt.fuller@fhwa.dot.gov.
