Opportunity Summary:
The Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program, Tribal Participation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15SS00010) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management) within the broader environment activity area. It was structured as a grant (not a cooperative agreement listed here) and was intended to support tribal participation and cultural resources work connected to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $130,000, which also served as the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $1, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, aligning the funding with tribal-led cultural documentation and mitigation activities. In the described project scope, the Pueblo of Zuni emphasized that its ancestral archaeological sites are treated as traditional cultural properties (TCPs). From the Zuni perspective, these places are not simply historical remnants; they are tangible evidence tied to Zuni emergence traditions and migration histories, and they help sustain both individual and collective cultural identity. The Zuni also asserted that these archaeological sites meet eligibility criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, reinforcing their significance in federal cultural resource frameworks.
The project purpose had three closely related goals. First, it aimed to mitigate, at least in part, the adverse effects associated with Glen Canyon Dam operations on the defining characteristics of Zuni ancestral sites. This framing reflects ongoing concerns that dam-related river management can alter environmental and cultural landscapes in ways that affect site integrity and cultural values. Second, the project sought to document the importance of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers, along with Zuni ancestral sites, explicitly from a Zuni tribal perspective. That emphasis signals an intent to ensure that tribal knowledge, cultural meanings, and lived relationships to place are recorded and represented in decision-making contexts that have historically leaned heavily on technical or non-tribal narratives. Third, the project planned to produce a documentary film designed for practical use as educational material. The film was intended for Zuni school systems, the broader Zuni community, and stakeholders involved in GCDAMP, effectively serving both internal cultural education and external stakeholder awareness within the adaptive management process.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 18, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 1, 2015, and it was later archived on October 1, 2015. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Deborah Chorlton, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3734.
