Crucial Issues in United States Department of Defense Cultural Resources Management

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Crucial Issues in United States Department of Defense Cultural Resources Management " at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Stewardship responsibilities for large tracts of land with multiple groups of Indigenous inhabitants presents the United States Department of Defense (DoD) with unique opportunities and challenges. Universal priorities among cultural resource practitioners include generating meaningful interactions with our Tribal partners and addressing impacts of climate change on cultural and natural resources of import to Tribal communities. This symposium will be split into two parts to review these issues. Successful case studies from installations will provide best practices and templates for future work in these important areas.
