Traditional Cultural Properties. A Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) is a historic property that has cultural significance and may be eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. Tradition in this context refers to those beliefs, customs, and practices of a living community of people that have been passed down through the generations usually orally or through practice. The traditional cultural significance of a historic property, the, is derived from the role the property plays in a community’s historically rooted beliefs, customs, and practices. These locations are intertwined with that community’s history and are important in maintaining the cultural identity of that community. As with archaeological sites, TCPs must meet at least of the criteria listed above to be eligible for the NRHP. Some TCPs will have no material manifestations and will usually be identified during the consultation process with Indian tribes, informants, and local residents. TCPs must be taken into account during the planning process and their identification and treatment will require agreement among the Indian tribes, informants, local residents, and NRCS Louisiana CRS personnel.
Traditional Cultural Properties. A Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) is a place that is significant for its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community. Such locations are rooted in that community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. The significance of a TCP is derived from the role the location plays in a community’s historical beliefs, customs, and practices. Some TCPs may not contain any material remains. They must still be taken into account during cultural resources planning. Such places will normally become known to the Conservation Planner during the cultural resources review as the result of questioning participants, informants, local residents, or through consultation with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes. Treatment of TCPs during the conservation planning process will require the assistance of the informant and should also involve NRCS Utah CRS personnel.
Traditional Cultural Properties. A. Through preliminary cultural resources research for the Project, the FTA and the City have only identified one Traditional Cultural Property (TCP), the Chinatown Historic District. Within thirty (30) days of execution of this PA, the City shall undertake a study, at the request of the consulting parties, to determine the presence of previously unidentified TCPs within the APE, which includes cultural landscapes if present. Prior to construction commencement, the City shall meet with the SHPD, consulting parties, and other parties with expertise, including Native Hawaiian organizations (NHOs) to discuss and identify potential TCPs, as defined by the National Register Bulletin 38, Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties. Building on cultural practices analysis already completed to address Act 50, Session Laws of Hawaii 2000 requirements, the City shall undertake studies to evaluate these TCPs for NRHP eligibility in accordance with guidance in National Register Bulletin 38. The TCP study shall be completed by qualified staff with experience in ethnographic studies and TCP assessments for NRHP eligibility. If FTA determines that eligible TCPs are present, the City will complete effects assessments and seek SHPD concurrence on both eligibility and effects determinations. SHPD will have thirty (30) days to review eligibility and effect determinations. If FTA or the SHPD determine that there are adverse effects on eligible TCPs, the City shall meet with consulting parties to identify measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects. The City will complete all fieldwork, eligibility and effects determination, and consultation to develop treatment measures prior to the commencement of construction. The City shall complete any treatment measures prior to undertaking each construction phase that would adversely affect a TCP. Regardless of effect determination, the City will complete NRHP nominations for properties that meet the NRHP criteria for TCPs. The SHPD, NPS and consulting parties, including NHOs, will review draft NRHP nominations and provide comments within thirty (30) days of receipt. The City will consider all comments when completing final NRHP nominations. The City will submit final NRHP nominations to SHPD.
Traditional Cultural Properties. Comments received during consultation and public meetings identified the need for continued consultation with Tribes to identify TCPs and other places of cultural significance. While information regarding these resources may be gathered, in part, from further research into previous studies (including place name studies), focused in-person interviews and research with Tribes or knowledgeable individuals is the best way to address this topic. In some cases, a field survey with traditional knowledge holders may be needed to determine where these resources are within the APE. Additional methods could include mapping place names with community members, recording oral stories, or other methods that are determined appropriate by the Tribe. Compilation of TCPs will generally follow the guidelines and procedures outlined above for ethnographic resources and in NRB 38 (NPS 1998). The USACE will continue to consult with groups and individuals who may have special knowledge about the history and/or culture of the area, or who ascribe traditional cultural significance to specific locations within the APE. Direct consultation with these groups or individuals is essential in the identification of TCPs. Depending on the level of initial information provided to the USACE regarding TCPs, the USACE may facilitate coordination between PLP and Consulting Parties to collect further information necessary to support determinations of eligibility of potential TCPs. Special considerations for the identification of TCPs include: establishing appropriate boundaries; defining who is best suited to undertake identification and evaluation work; agreeing what constitutes sufficient documentation; deciding how integrity should properly be considered; and determining how traditional cultural groups can best be defined (Xxxxxxxx 2009). The USACE, in consultation with the Tribe(s), PLP, and SHPO, will establish appropriate TCP data collection methods.
Traditional Cultural Properties. Like all historic properties, to be considered eligible a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) must be a district, site, building, structure, or object that meets at least one of the four criteria established by the NRHP. It must also be associated with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in that community's history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. TCPs apply to groups of every ethnic origin that have properties to which they ascribe traditional cultural value (NRHP Bulletin 38). To identify TCPs, the BLM will rely on NRHP Bulletin 38 and other NPS guidance, and consultation with Indian tribes, ethnic groups or communities ascribing traditional significance to an area. The BLM will make its determinations of eligibility based on consultation and information from literature reviews, ethnographies, traditional use studies, field inventories, oral histories, interviews, and other forms of research.
Traditional Cultural Properties. A Traditional Cultural Property can be defined generally as an object, site, landscape feature, or other form of feature that is eligible for inclusion in the National Register because of its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in that communities’ history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. For additional information, reference Xxxxxx and Xxxx, 1995. Treatment Plan: A proposal for the mitigation of effects upon any historic property that a project would affect. It can include data recovery, documentation, restoration or other measures. Undertaking: An undertaking is a project, activity, or program funded in whole or in part under the direct or indirect jurisdiction of a Federal agency. This includes those carried out by or on behalf of a Federal agency, those carried out with Federal financial assistance, those requiring a Federal permit, license or approval, and those subject to state or local regulation pursuant to a delegation or approval by a Federal agency. For this PA, the Undertaking refers to the STB’s review of an application for the construction and operation of a rail line by the ARRC, extending its existing system between the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and a point between Wasilla and north of Willow, Alaska.

Traditional Cultural Properties. Often referred to as “TCPs,” Traditional Cultural Properties may be geographic features, locations, rural communities, urban neighborhoods, or other areas associated with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that are rooted in that community’s history, and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. TCPs may include locations associated with the traditional beliefs of an American Indian group about its origins, its cultural history, or the nature of the world; may include buildings and structures, objects or landscapes; and may be associated with religious or cultural practices of American Indians. • Historic Debris – This term may refer to a great number of different artifacts 50 years of age or older that may be considered historical in nature. Cans, metal fragments, nails, glass fragments, glass bottles, and a variety of remnant material may be considered historic debris. In the Sacramento Valley this occasionally includes material thrown from railroad cars as passengers passed through the area, as well as abandoned machinery and equipment. Historic debris may be linked to a number of different historic subsistence activities such as farming, irrigation, construction of infrastructure, and homesteading. • Water Related – The history of the Sacramento Valley is intertwined with that of flood control, reclamation, farming, and irrigation in the city of Sacramento and the surrounding areas. Much of the flood control infrastructure of the area dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. Water-related features may include levees, canals, weirs, bypass channels, drainage ditches, pump houses, wells, pipes, and farm-related structures and equipment. • Transportation – A great number of roads, bridges, railroad tracks, and railroad trestles appear within the study area. These may include dirt or paved roads; bridges over canals, culverts, or other topographic features; and a variety of railroad features. Railroad features may include portions of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Walnut Grove Branch Line Railroad, raised berms that supported railroad rights-of-way, railroad trestle bridges, and lengths of railroad alignments. Within Sacramento, a number of historic railroad features are still in use today, both for the transport of goods, and recreationally and educationally associated with the California Railroad Museum in Old Town Sacramento just east of the Sacramento River. • Structures – This refers t...
Traditional Cultural Properties. A traditional cultural property is defined as a property that is eligible for inclusion in the National Register because of its association with cultural practices or beliefs of a living community that (a) are rooted in that community's history, and (b) are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. Traditional cultural properties may be difficult to recognize and may include a location of a traditional ceremonial location, a mountaintop, a lake, or a stretch of river, or culturally important neighborhood. (U.S. Department of the Interior1998). Federally recognized tribes with traditional ties to Louisiana include the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, the Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma, the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, the Jena Band of Choctaw Indians, the Mississippi Band of the Choctaw, the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Tunica-Biloxi Indians of Louisiana (Federal Register 2002). The LDHP does not maintain a list of traditional cultural properties within the state.
Traditional Cultural Properties a. The New York District will ensure that future surveys within the APE include procedures to identify Traditional Cultural Properties and to consult with Federally Recognized Tribes and other affected parties in accordance with the guidelines provided by National Park Service Bulletin 38,
