The Bureau of Reclamation is offering this grant to support the Hualapai Tribe’s culturally sensitive nonnative fish relocation efforts. This grant is for the purpose of aiding the tribe in managing captured nonnative fish, mitigating their threat to endangered humpback chub in the Colorado River. As part of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP), the Bureau conducts nonnative fish removal below Lees Ferry, AZ. Addressing tribal concerns regarding the “taking of life” in a culturally important area, the Hualapai Tribe has agreed to take possession of the captured fish and transport them to be stocked in fishing ponds. This ensures their disposal aligns with tribal values and reinforces the Hualapai Tribe’s role as a key GCDAMP consulting signatory, upholding tribal values in resource management.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Bureau of Reclamation – Upper Colorado Region |
| Description: | The Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP) was established for the long-term preservation and management of the cultural and natural resources of the Grand Canyon in accord with the Gran Canyon Protection Act of 1992 (GCPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended (NHPA). As a component of the GCDAMP, the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado River Region (Reclamation) is in the process of conducting nonnative fish removal efforts below Lees Ferry, AZ in the Colorado River to reduce the threat of predation on humpback chub, an endangered species. Several Indian Tribes have expressed concern over the taking of life in this culturally-important area and to address that issue the Hualapai Tribe has agreed to take possession of the nonnative fish after they are captured and transport them to fishing ponds where they will be stocked for fishing.
Since 1994 the Hualapai Tribe has been a consulting signatory to the GCDAMP, ensuring that tribal values are represented at the various program functions and to ensure effective government-to-government consultation on federal undertakings that may affect resources important to the Tribe. Therefore it is within the Hualapai Tribes discretion to accept these fish and dispose of them as they deem prudent. |
