"We Especially Love the Land We Live On": Documenting Native American Traditional Cultural Properties of the Historic Period
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2019
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled ""We Especially Love the Land We Live On": Documenting Native American Traditional Cultural Properties of the Historic Period," at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
The National Register of Historic Places first officially recognized the concept of Traditional Cultural Properties with publication of National Register bulletin 38, Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties in 1990. While this bulletin was intended to provide guidance on documenting properties associated with any ethnic group, it has mostly been seen as guidance for documenting properties associated with traditional practices of American Indian and Native Hawaiian groups. In addition, many of the Native properties used to illustrate the bulletin come from the western United States and Micronesia, and many reference places associated with spiritual and ritualistic activities of Native groups. This symposium seeks to provide guidance for documenting Native American Traditional Cultural Properties east of the Mississippi River, especially those that focus on aspects of everyday Native life. Papers presented will discuss best practices and lessons learned from documenting these historic period properties.
