Unearthing Crow Tribal History FHA Public Roads - July/August 2012 by Steve Platt and Alan Woodmansey.

In 1884, the Crow Indian Agency was moved again by the U.S. Government to its present location along I-90 on the Little Bighorn River. Archaeological excavations along Montana Highway 78 revealed much about the daily lives of the Crow people of more than a century ago between 1875 and 1884, when the Crow Indian Reservation was located on East Rosebud Creek south of present-day Absarokee, MT. Although the tribe moved farther east in 1884, the 9 years of living at Absarokee were times of monumental change for the people.

Funny old world along the road to hell- link MT NP LIBI 10(2), LITTLE BIGHORN BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL MONUMENT
690567-24-SS-0013
This solicitation is a "REQUEST FOR INFORMATION" only for the proposed contract work listed in the requirements section below.

REQUIREMENT:
NAICS Code 237310, Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction apply to this procurement with a size standard of $45 million.
Estimated Price Range: $2,000,000 and $5,000,000

This 0.2-mile project includes grading, paving and drainage work of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Tour Road (referred to as the “Tour Road”) and parking areas within the Little Bighorn Battlefield National.The primary objective of the proposed contract is to increase transportation safety within the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The Tour Road has a sub‐standard width for majority of its alignment and limited shoulders which does not accommodate two‐way traffic. During peak visitation, the Tour Road receives high traffic volumes that include large buses and RV’s.

There are three major parking areas within the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument; the VisitorCenter parking lot, the Stone House Parking lot and the Reno‐Benteen parking lot. All of these parking areas are undersized and poorly configured for the current traffic volume and vehicle sizes. The result is traffic conflicts, illegal parking in culturally sensitive areas, and pedestrian and vehicle conflicts.

The estimated award date is Winter 2024/2025.

Tribal Resources and Conditions:

Cultural Resources Conditions - The project is located on a historical battlefield of the Battle of Little Bighorn. The adjacent land next to the roadway is a very sensitive cultural resource to not only NPS but the 18-affiliated native tribes. There is a possibility that battle artifacts and human remains may be lying under the surface. Due to the culturally sensitive nature of the project, all ground disturbing work on the project requires archaeological monitoring and metal detection. Prior to ground disturbing activity, coordination with NPS will be required to ensure archeological monitoring and metal detection take place.

Tribal Conditions - The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is adjacent to Crow Tribe reservation lands for several miles. Per the Crow Nation Workforce Protection Act, the Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) may assess a 3% fee for work located outside of Park boundaries. The Crow Tribe assesses the fee for the privilege of conducting business on the Crow Reservation and to raise sufficient revenue for the operation of the TERO office and the enforcement of..................... the Strategic Missile Command and launch systems.






Looks like some seriously joined up thinking was underway with the federal progarams intended to upgrade federal facilities on the federal land at lbh. How utterly federal. I understand that they, alone perhaps today, still do not take prisoners.
