Pueblo of Acoma's Rapid Ethnographic Surveys 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.

The Pueblo of Acoma officially signed onto the NGWSP Programmatic Agreement to be a Concurring Party member on May 20, 2016. At that time, the Bureau of Reclamation provided the Pueblo with a Financial Assistance Award (FAA) that would be used for Phase I of this project. Through this FAA the Pueblo was able to get out into the field and walk approximately 96 miles of the actual pipeline corridor, in most areas prior to actual construction. This presentation will focus of the Pueblo’s experience and a best practices model that Acoma used to avoid and minimize destruction to important cultural resources.
