The Tijeras Cultural Corridor Plan: Connecting Community to the Natural and Cultural History of Tijeras Canyon

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Hill People: New Research on Tijeras Canyon and the East Mountains" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Tijeras Canyon has long been a corridor of migration for wildlife and humans, and the presence of water has and continues to make this place a special place. From shaping of the landscape, to settlement, and sacred places, water is at the heart of Tijeras Canyon. There are deep meanings in this landscape and special places to be protected and interpreted. Through the efforts of the City of Albuquerque’s Open Space Division and its partners, the Tijeras Creek Cultural Corridor Plan seeks to interpret these stories as well as protect the natural and cultural resources found in this area, while providing recreational trails and opportunities for the public to participate in caring for and sustaining the land for future generations.
