Topics may include archaeology, repatriation, protecting sacred sites, place renaming, cultural resource preservation, consultation on renewable energy development, ecosystem and species restoration, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundamentally, the U.S. does not uphold Free and Prior Informed Consent as articulated in the UNDRIP. NATHPO supports THPOs in making the most of the existing legal framework while also working towards changes that support Tribal sovereignty. We also hope this panel will facilitate international relationships and promote knowledge exchange that can help find paths to the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, which promotes full application of the UNDRIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Culture heals people, and THPOs do the work of reforging connections damaged through processes of colonisation and assimilation. The world archaeological community can help empower Tribal preservation leaders to better protect Native places holistically and make progress toward this vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Format: Panel Discussion Convenor:\u00a0 Valerie Grussing, National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) play a unique and critical role in the U.S., and this panel will be an opportunity for broader discussion and networking around national level policy of Indigenous archaeology and cultural resources, including challenges and opportunities.
