The Secretary of the Interior can contract with states, the Nez Perce Tribe, or others to run park sites, but only using money Congress has appropriated. The Secretary can also put up historical markers under a 1935 preservation law. The Secretary must consult the Nez Perce Tribe on how the park's history is presented.
(a) The Secretary of the Interior can make contracts and cooperative agreements with Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, their subdivisions or agencies, corporations, associations, the Nez Perce Tribe, or individuals, to protect, preserve, maintain, or run any site, object, or property in the Nez Perce National Historical Park — no matter who holds title to it. But no contract or agreement can commit the Treasury's general fund unless Congress has appropriated money for that purpose.
(b) To help explain the Nez Perce country to the public, the Secretary can put up and maintain plaques or markers, following the rules of a 1935 law on preserving historic American sites, buildings, objects, and antiquities.
(c) The Secretary must consult with Nez Perce Tribe officials about how the park and its history are explained to the public.
In order to carry out the purpose of this subchapter, the Secretary of the Interior may contract and make cooperative agreements with the States of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, their political subdivisions or agencies, corporations, associations, the Nez Perce Tribe, or individuals, to protect, preserve, maintain, or operate any site, object, or property included within the Nez Perce National Historical Park, regardless of whether title thereto is in the United States: Provided, That no contract or cooperative agreement shall be made or entered into which will obligate the general fund of the Treasury unless or until Congress has appropriated money for such purpose.
To facilitate the interpretation of the Nez Perce country the Secretary is authorized to erect and maintain tablets or markers in accordance with the provisions contained in the Act approved August 21, 1935, entitled “An Act to provide for the preservation of historic American sites, buildings, objects, and antiquities of national significance, and for other purposes” (49 Stat. 666).1
The Secretary shall consult with officials of the Nez Perce Tribe on the interpretation of the park and its history.
