US Department of the Interior listening sessions on sacred sites

Via Rob Buchanan and the NEARA bulletin board:

"To address tribal concerns regarding sacred sites issues, the US Department of the Interior will conduct listening sessions on sacred sites in general, as well as knowledge relating to specific sites on Interior-managed tribal trust and other federal lands. The Department will be better equipped to make decisions that are sensitive to the ceremonial use and physical integrity of sacred sites through the benefit of tribal input and views on such matters."

I regard it as misguided to want to keep all sites secret.
