(1)Sacred and medicinal sites;
(2)Gathering medicines or materials such as grasses for basket weaving; and
(3)Other traditional activities, including, but not limited to, subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering.

(c)In order for a Tribal government to designate a non-tribal road as a cultural site or area entry road, it must enter into an agreement with the public authority having jurisdiction over the road.
(d)Cultural site or area entry roads may be included in the NTTFI if they meet the definition of a TTP facility.
