Indigenous co-management essential for Bears Ears region
“What Tribal members have said all along is that you don’t just preserve the archaeological
site,” said Lisbeth Louderback, curator of archaeology and director of the archaeobotany
lab at the Natural History Museum of Utah and anthropologist at the University of
Utah. “You have to preserve the entire resource space around the site, including the
plants. Building a management plan incorporating both western science and traditional
knowledge will get a full picture of the best way to take care of the resources and
the monument.”
