nAppendix xn IFMAT IV Tribal Site Visit Sampling Scheme
Methodology:
Special attributes (time of forest acquisition, legal status, fee land) Tribes with a new or growing trust acreage land base (Land Buy Back and other acquisition e.g. Muckleshoot)
Site visit recommendations were made based on an analysis that considered multiple factors: Past IFMAT visit history, with special weight given to tribes that have hosted at least 2 previous visits Governance –creating a balance of Compact, Contract, ITARA demonstration project, Direct Service, etc. Balance to include all regions that wanted to have the assessment.
Allotments (large issue, i.e. Quinault, Alaska, etc.)
Special issues (fire, insects, disease, climate change vulnerability) Shared Stewardship, addressing tribal values on other lands (RTRL, GNA, TFPA, etc.) Unusual or unique attributes (mills, restored tribes etc.) Taking all of the above factors into account, a spatial/geographic analysis was done to coordinate and strategically optimize IFMAT IV travel.
