Cultural Resources
The goal of the Tribe’s Cultural Resources Management Program is to discover, protect, and restore cultural resources for current and future generations. Mooretown Cultural Resources conducts surveys, responds to consultation requests, and provides cultural monitors for earth-disturbing projects on an hourly contract basis.
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 conducted or assisted with site surveys on hundreds of acres of Tribal land, as well as through projects with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, FEMA, Caltrans and others. Our Cultural Resources Program is integral to the Tribe’s efforts to restore lands all across the state using traditional and modern cultural resource protection strategies.
