Comment from Christopher Saunders - the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology Office of the State Archaeologist

Summary: The South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology Office of the State Archaeologist (SCIAA OSA) opposes the modification or repeal of existing regulations that protect federal lands, cultural heritage, and environmental resources. They argue that these regulations are necessary to fulfill trust obligations to Native Nations and should not be weakened to lower costs for extractive industries.
