TASK H (continued)
IFMAT I – 1993 II – 2003 III - 2013
Recommendation Implementation Status
Recommendations in Response to Task H Findings
Forest Trespass
Control of trespass within tribal boundaries should be reviewed and strengthened. (Recommendation H8, page 19) Alaska An IFMAT-type study of the Native peoples of Alaska and their forests is long overdue. A regularly recurring state- of-the-resource report, including protocol for continuing data acquisition with specific reference to the NIFRMA- mandated questions should be implemented jointly between BIA and tribal organizations such as the ITC. (Recommendation H10, page 196)
Funding continues to be an issue not only for forestry, but law enforcement as well.
I, II, III
IFMAT IV, which is to be completed in 2023, includes an assessment of forest management on Alaska trust lands comprised of native allotments and the Metlakatla reservation.

Indian Forest Management Assessments
Continue the ten-year cycle of Indian Forest Management Assessments, with improved, continuous, and coordinated interim data collection techniques and provide adequate funding for a consistent monitoring process. (IFMAT II – Primary Recommendation (6), page 18) If progress is made and monitored, continue the ten- year cycle of Indian Forest Management Assessments with improved, continuous, and coordinated interim data collection techniques and provide adequate funding for a consistent monitoring process. Note: In IFMAT II Task H was Designated Task I. (Recommendation Task I (6), page 91)
IFMAT IV which is to be completed in 2023, includes an assessment of forest management on Alaska trust lands comprised of native allotments and the Metlakatla reservation. IFMAT assessments have been continued for two additional ten- year cycles with the completion of IFMATs III and IV. There is no indication that the assessments will not be continued in the future. Specific recurring monitoring funding has not been provided and this activity is largely unfunded.
