U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New Jersey Field Office, Native American Tribes in New Jersey, State Recognized and others.

The federal government has a unique and distinctive political relationship with federally recognized Indian tribes. It is defined by treaties, statutes, executive orders, judicial decisions and agreements and differs from relationships with state and local governments or other entities. It has given rise to a special federal trust responsibility, involving the legal responsibilities and obligations of the United States toward Indian tribes and the application of fiduciary standards of due care with respect to Indian lands, tribal trust resources and the exercise of tribal rights.

New Jersey Field Office Makes
Maintenance Recommendations
to the Ramapough Lenape Nation

On June 19, 2002, New Jersey Field Office Biological Technician Robert V. Smith evaluated a project in restoring native warm-season grasses and wildflowers and riparian habitat to tribal property of the Ramapough Lenape Nation, a State-recognized tribe. The project was originally accomplished with the assistance of the New Jersey Field Office's Partners for Fish and Wildlife program in 2000. Smith made recommendations to the tribal chief for maintaining the 5-acre grassland and the 580-foot-long riparian buffer along Ramapough River, which included mowing, deer-browse protection and invasive species control. The project was a successful partnership between the Service and a Native American tribe.
