American Indian Religious Rights and Your Responsibility

CASE STUDY Level 3

Rock Climbing on Sacred Land

On federal lands that you manage, in July of each year rock climbers from around the world converge to take on some challenging rocks climbing. You expect more than 250 climbers. The group (which grows in number every year) comes for 10 days every year. This year, the date conflicts with a month-long religious ceremony practiced by a local Indian tribe in and around the rock climbing area. The tribe has suggested that this violates their federally mandated right to practice their religion on these lands. Indian tribal leaders have requested a meeting with you to discuss the issue. How would you approach this meeting? How would you go about making a plan of action? What are your suggested recommendations to resolve this issue?

Follow the guidelines in Your Turn to develop your plan and solution.

CLE Proposal Paper Design Document Prototype	Prototype Description - Case Study The complexity of the case studies increases from Level 1 to Level 3. While in other levels, students are asked only to develop one part of a plan of action, here they are not only asked to prepare for a meeting with a tribal leader, but to develop a plan and devise a solution.
