Curiosity and Collaboration: Interaction with the Tribal Public in Northwestern New Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the ""Is There Gold in that Field?" CRM and Public Outreach on the Front Lines" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Between 2011 and 2019, PaleoWest Archaeology assisted the Bureau of Reclamation with the nation’s largest federally funded archaeology project, the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP) in northwest New Mexico. A substantial portion of the project is on Navajo Nation tribal lands and the archaeological work conducted ahead of this water infrastructure project was of great interest to local Navajo people and other descendant and consulting tribes. This presentation summarizes our experience with the tribal public as part of NGWSP.
