Chief Robert Gray, Pamunkey Indian tribe, speaks with Joint Base LangleyEustis leadership during a Native American Tribal Consultation Visit at JBLE. Military installations throughout the U.S. conducted tribal consultations with Native American dignitaries. Senior Airman Anthony Nin Leclerec
prised that we have sites that were occupied by Native peoples on the installation,” said Dr. Christopher L. McDaid, cultural resources manager for JBLEEustis. “This consultation meeting will help us be better stewards of those places by working with the descendants of the people that lived on this land for
thousands of years.” Native peoples occupied the land that is now JBLE for more than 10,000 years prior to colonial settlement. Both parts of JBLE, Langley and Eustis, have cultural sites with archeological materials left behind by ancestors of these tribes. This consultation meeting with federally
recognized Native American tribes is not unique to JBLE, as military installations throughout the U.S. conduct tribal consultations with Native American dignitaries. Air Force Instruction 90-2002 is the established guidance regarding these tribal consultations.
