From records to an internal draft.

    EXAMPLE-001

    A synthetic inventory record, with a field note: “Confirm box labels against the inventory before the next review.”

  2. 02 · Preliminary review

    A question to resolve

    Staff check the supporting records, examine the review questions, and retain the review action for the next person.

  3. 03 · Internal draft

    Facts ready for review

    Staff use the reviewed facts to prepare a supported notice draft for internal review. It remains a working document.

Consultation, decisions, publication, and submission remain with the responsible people.

Responsibility stays with people

Support for the work and the people doing it.

  • PAVA does not determine affiliation, consent, standing, or a Nation’s decision.
  • PAVA does not determine whether consultation is adequate or whether an institution is legally compliant.
  • PAVA does not submit or send filings. Authority remains with Nations, communities, descendants, and the responsible people.
