Exploring the Hopi Youth Component of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project: A Multivocal Analysis of the San Juan Basin as a Cultural Landscape" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Since 1989, the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (HCPO) has conducted numerous archaeological and ethnographic studies. All of the past projects involved the input of the Hopi Cultural Resource Advisor Task Team, representing twelve villages, clan groups and religious societies for which proposed projects may have impacts. In September 2017, the Bureau of Reclamation awarded the Hopi Tribe a FAA to conduct a TCP study. In the award, HCPO successfully incorporated a youth component to the NGWSP, which would allow the youth interns to work side by side with HCPO staff, Cultural Advisers, Archaeologists, Anthropologists and other professionals relevant to the NGWSP. This paper will describe the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office’s experience working with youth for the first time on a TCP study.
