Tribal Collaboration in Heritage Management on the Carrizo Plain National Monument

Summary

The Carrizo Plain National Monument (CPNM) contains some of the most significant Native American heritage sites in the United States. In recognition of this, a cultural landscape, which includes habitation sites, camps, quarries and pictograph sites, has been designated as the Carrizo Plain Archaeological District National Historic Landmark. In addition to these physical features, the Carrizo Plain is imbued with intangible values that embody a sacred landscape for affiliated tribes. The Bureau of Land Management has worked closely with tribal partners during the development of management plans for the CPNM. This has included an adaptive management strategy for public visitation of Painted Rock, a sacred pictograph site. This poster will provide information on how site management at Painted Rock has been guided by this collaborative process.
