Indigenous Cultural Resource Management

Indigenous Cultural Resource Management involves protecting, preserving, and respecting the cultural heritage and traditional sites of Indigenous communities. It ensures that when development projects or land use changes occur, Indigenous values, artifacts, and sacred sites are considered and safeguarded. This process often includes collaboration with Indigenous peoples to incorporate their knowledge, customs, and perspectives, aiming to honor their cultural connection to the land while balancing economic or development needs. Overall, it promotes respectful stewardship of Indigenous cultural resources in a way that supports their rights and cultural continuity.
