Cultural Resources
The goal of The Tribe’s Cultural Resources Management Program is to protect and restore cultural resources for current and future generations. Mooretown Cultural Resources conducts comprehensive cultural resources surveys on tribal lands and lands that they co-manage, and, as appropriate, consults with local tribal groups to conduct cultural resources surveys in areas that are beyond their own aboriginal lands.
Services
Mooretown Cultural Resources Management Services began with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) response to consultation requests in 2019 and has grown into a contract management service that has assisted with and conducted site surveys over hundreds of acres as part of projects with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, FEMA, Caltrans and others and is leading the Tribe’s efforts to restore lands all across the State using traditional and modern cultural resource protection strategies.
