Cultural Heritage Partners has created a website called 106Strong with several resources related to the multi-pronged threat to Section 106. The resources include:
- Overview of Section 106 changes in BAAJA, the ACHP’s effort to rewrite Section 106 regulations, and the actions of the Executive Branch to avoid or limit review for specific projects;
- Resources that explain the changes to NHPA included within the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) bill, including a one-pager, a webinar, a slide deck, the bill text, a redline of NHPA provisions amended by the BAAJA bill, and a model tribal resolution opposing the bill;
- BAAJA’s empty promises to Tribal Nations: Claim vs. Fact;
- and other resources
CHP’s 5-minute video below translates the technical aspects of Section 106 into a message for the general public. It connects Tribal consultation and historic preservation to the broader principle that communities should have a voice before irreplaceable places are harmed. Its storytelling is emotional, and it calls on people to contact Congress. The video provides a useful tool for building public understanding and support.
