preservation, and maintenance of archeological resources
The Secretary shall seek to enter into cooperative agreements with
the owners, including the beneficial owners, of the properties located
in whole in or in part within the park or the archeological protection
sites. The purposes of such agreements shall be to protect, preserve,
maintain, and administer the archeological resources and associated site
regardless of whether title to the property or site is vested in the
United States. Any such agreement shall contain provisions to assure
that (1) the Secretary, or his representative, shall have a right of
access at all reasonable times to appropriate portions of the property
for the purpose of cultural resource protection and conducting research,
and (2) no changes or alterations shall be permitted with respect to the
cultural resources without the written consent of the Secretary. Nothing
in this subchapter shall be deemed to prevent the continuation of
traditional Native American religious uses of properties which are the
subject of cooperative agreements.
