Putting Archaeology Southwest’s Indigenous Collaboration Model into Practice: A New Mexico Example

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Archaeology Southwest is undertaking an Indigenous Cultural Landscape Report for Petroglyph National Monument, just west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The work at Petroglyphs involves a number of goals, including tracking and documenting the physical, natural, and cultural history of the 7,200 acres comprising the monument. A large component of the research is assessing the monument, either as whole or in parts, as a Traditional Cultural Property/Place—a TCP. As part of this assessment process, working with monument staff, we have engaged many tribal groups. Petroglyph National Monument has 29 Pueblos and Tribes who have self-identified as affiliated and interested groups. A large component of our work over the last two years has been outreach and engagement with many of the Tribes. To date, significant interaction is ongoing with 21 of the 29 affiliated Tribes, through virtual and in-person meetings, field visits and inspections, and visits to tribal headquarters. This presentation will briefly describe Archaeology Southwest’s Indigenous Collaboration Model and its implementation via creation of an Indigenous Cultural Landscape Report (ICLR) for Petroglyph National Monument.
