This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Cultural and Paleontological Resources Management program (CFDA 15.224), provides $209,690.45 to Portland State University (PSU) to facilitate collaborative ethnographic research with tribal nations regarding their ancestral homelands within the Red Rock and Sloan Canyon National Conservation Areas in Nevada. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) planning meetings and a workplan development with a tribal working group, 2) facilitation of two research phases by the tribal working group focused on tribal relationships with ancestral lands, 3) virtual meetings with the tribal working group, 4) transcription, data management, and co-analysis of interview and focus group data, and 5) development of two final reports documenting tribal knowledge and perspectives to enhance government-to-government consultation, co-management opportunities, and visitor interpretive materials for the two National Conservation Areas. This project aims to support the preservation and perpetuation of indigenous culture and place-based traditions associated with these BLM-administered lands.
