Caddo Nation Historic Preservation

Historic Preservation

The Caddo Nation of Oklahoma is a federally recognized tribe with homelands spanning the present-day states of Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. With such a vast homeland, there are innumerable historic and prehistoric Caddo cultural sites and cemeteries. In addition to the physical remnants of our past, we have handed down Caddo culture, language, and traditions. The through the Historic Preservation Department the Caddo Nation implements several federal laws which protect cultural heritage resources and  includes NAGPRA, Repatriation and Consultation efforts. 

Section 106

CADDO NATION OF OKLAHOMA TRIBAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM (CNHPP) Section 106 Consultation Standards The Caddo Nation Tribal Historic Preservation Program (CNHPP) follows standard procedures and policies for consultation with government agencies to aid in the protection of cultural and historic resources pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act, (NHPA) [16 U.S.C. 470 §§ 470-470w-6] 1966, where undertakings are subject to the review process referred to in §101 (d)(6)(A), and 36 CFR Part 800. This consultation process may change in the event of an agreement document which outlines any mutually agreed upon changes to the standard process. 


The Caddo Nation receives hundreds of Section 106 review requests each month. Due to this high volume, all Section 106 review requests must follow CNHPP standards. Any deviation from standard practices will result in your review being delayed or potentially lost. This is the responsibility of the applicant/review requester. The following standards must be followed when requesting Section 106 review from the Caddo Nation: 


  • Hard copies of all review requests must be provided via physical mailings to our office. Electronic copies will be accepted when absolutely necessary, however hard copies receive shorter review times. 


  • All Section 106 correspondence should always be addressed to the Caddo Nation THPO. All hard correspondence should be addressed to the Caddo Nation Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, P.O. Box 487, Binger, OK 73009. All emails should be addressed to section106@mycaddonation.com. Any applicants who choose not to follow this standard greatly increase the amount of time needed to review your project and greatly increase the likelihood that your project will not reach our office. If an agency chooses to address and send the review request to any other person or entity in the Caddo Nation other than the Caddo Nation THPO, it may not make it to our office and the 30 day time period described in 36 CFR 800 will not begin. You must submit Section 106 correspondence to the Caddo Nation THPO every time, or your review will not be compliant with 36 CFR 800.


  • Please note that if your project has anything other than a standard “no properties/no effect” determination, it should be sent or copied directly to the THPO at jrohrer@mycaddonation.com. Projects which have a standard “no properties/no effect” determination should not be sent directly to the THPO, but to section106@mycaddonation.com . This is imperative for our department.


  • Subject lines for Section 106 requests should always be written as follows: Proposed Funding Agency, Proposed Action/Name of Undertaking, Location, County, State. Failure to follow this standard will result in delaying your review.


  • The body of a Section 106 request must include a paragraph providing a brief description of the undertaking and level of proposed ground disturbance. Your agency's determination of effect must be included, as well as a description of any attachments and unique information about the project. The final paragraph must include your contact information. Superfluous about your organization is not necessary or desired. Failure to include the basic necessary information as described will result in delaying your review.


  • Attachments should include a map depicting the area, copies of any and all CRS work which has occurred, and a copy of any correspondence received from the SHPO for this project if applicable.


  • The Caddo Nation requires that cultural resource survey personnel and reports follow the Secretary of Interior's standards and guidelines.


For additional information regarding the preferences and requirements of the CNHPP, or for the Caddo Nation's area of interest please email jrohrer@mycaddonation.com.

Over 154 museums in 4 states and a host of state and federal agencies have Caddo culturally affiliated objects in their collections.
