Tribal Cultural Resource Management: The Full Circle to Stewardship Heritage Resource Management Series

Details about Tribal Cultural Resource Management: The Full Circle to Stewardship Heritage Resource Management Series:

The entrance of Native Americans into the world of cultural resource management is forcing a change in the traditional paradigms that have guided archaeologists, anthropologists, and other CRM professionals. This book examines these developments from tribal perspectives and articulates native views on the identification of cultural resource, how they should be handled and by whom, and what their meaning is in contemporary life. Stapp and Burney also demonstrate the connections between cultural resource and other issues such as native sovereignty, economic development, human rights, and cultural integrity.
