OWYHEE INITIATIVE FUNDING BEGINS

Crapo to discuss cultural protection with Tribes Thursday



Duck Valley Indian Reservation - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo will join members=
 of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation tomorr=
ow to discuss the first phase of funding that will implement provisions of =
the Owyhee Initiative land management legislation he passed earlier this ye=
ar.  The Owyhee Initiative, an eight-year collaborative written by Idahoans=
 and led by Crapo in Congress, was authorized in the Omnibus Land Managemen=
t Act of 2009.  The process of allocating funding to implement the Owyhee I=
nitiative is now underway through the appropriations process in Congress.

"The protection of cultural resources is a key element of the Owyhee legisl=
ation," Crapo said.  "It is important that Senate appropriators have design=
ated up to one million dollars to protect the cultural heritage of Idaho th=
at is kept in the Owyhee Canyonlands and now protected under the Owyhee Ini=
tiative."

Crapo noted that designation of federal funds still must be approved throug=
h the final appropriations process, which historically lasts through the su=
mmer and continues to the end of the fiscal year on September 30.  He added=
 that funding for others provisions of the Owyhee Initiative are also conti=
nuing.

Crapo said that other pieces of the Owyhee funding efforts to compensate ra=
nchers for land exchanges, improvements and for giving up grazing rights wi=
ll come from a combination of public and private dollars.  He said he has c=
ontacted Interior Secretary Ken Salazar about funding for the ranchers' nee=
ds.  Some of the rancher payments, such as retiring grazing rights, must be=
 paid for with private dollars and Crapo noted private groups are leading f=
undraising efforts in that regard.

Crapo will attend the Duck Valley Water Rights Settlement, Owyhee Initiativ=
e observances, and a barbeque at noon.  He'll speak with Chairman Robert Be=
ar and other members of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribal Council.
