Re: Via Princessa Park-Phase I
Dear Dan Duncan,
The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI) has maintained a professional Tribal Monitoring (TM) service for decades by aligning its traditional framework of preserving cultural, spiritual, and emotional ties to the land with effective options for mitigating potential damages to cultural resources.
The Tribal Historic and Cultural Preservation (THCP) Department’s field services for the Via Princess Park Project- Phase I consist of TM, Tribal Cultural Resource oversight and consultation, and documentation of work activity and artifact discoveries through daily monitoring logs and photographs. Cost for TM includes protective equipment, field necessities, vehicle mileage, and clerical expense. The CRM Manager shall oversee Tribal coordination, correspondence, and reporting, but is not necessarily a full-time and/or field position.
