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 Navajo Nation has been working with the Bureau of Reclamation and several southwest Indian Tribes on the construction of the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP) for the last couple of years. The Heritage and Historic Preservation Department is the Navajo Nation lead for cultural resources, including burials on the project. We are working together to preserve the cultural history of the greater San Juan Basin by working together, and respecting each other despite bureaucratic roadblocks. The Navajo Nation is a key player as much of the project is on its lands.
