"Traditional cultural places" (TCPs) are important for the roles they play in community cultural traditions, beliefs, and activities. They must be considered in planning under the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, Executive Orders 12898 and 13007, and other authorities. This seminar explores definitions and methods of identifying and managing impacts on TCPs.

“[I learned] the breadth of property types and settings that constitute TCPs.”
“[The seminar] gave many practical examples of real TCPs and how they were established and/or managed or mitigated.”
“Provided ideas on developing a TCP plan and explained general tendencies that will help eliminate mistakes.”
“[This seminar] was in no way a dry presentation of “laws and guidelines” [but gave] very good real situation examples.”
