Abstract	Agriculture Resource Management Plans (ARMPs) are the primary programmatic-level planning document for the management of tribal rangelands in North America. This project compares a standard ARMP product with a prototype ARMP developed through a Structured Decision Making (SDM) approach for the Navajo Partitioned Lands. The SDM approach provided increased transparency and quantitative methods for the integration of stakeholder values, local knowledge, and scientific data. Notably, the SDM framework also included modeling the consequences and evaluating the trade-offs to various management alternatives. Modeling was conducted using a state and transition simulation model and a Bayesian decision network. These results may inform the Navajo Nation ARMP that is currently being developed as well as other ARMPs developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Tribes.
