Tribally Approved American Indian Ethnographic Analysis of the Proposed Escalante Valley Solar Energy Zone

Summary

Ethnography and ethnographic synthesis for the Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and Solar Energy Study Areas in Portions of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. The proposed Escalante Valley solar energy zone (SEZ) is located in Iron County, Utah.

The Escalante Valley SEZ American Indian study area was traditionally occupied, used, aboriginally owned, and historically related to the Numic-speaking peoples of the Great Basin and western Colorado Plateau. The SEZ American Indian study area extends beyond the boundaries of the SEZ because of the existence of cultural resources in the surrounding landscape.

Participating tribes include the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation and the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah.
