Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) Sean Scruggs, of the Fort Independence Tribe of Paiute Indians, provided attendees with an insightful overview of the role of THPOs. He emphasized the importance of Tribal Cultural Sovereignty and the need for the public to better understand the deep connection between tribes, the land, and the natural world. This understanding is essential to effectively monitor, respect, and protect sacred sites from looting and unnecessary destruction.
Please note that this was an open Microsoft Teams Meeting with public discussion, and as such, the presentation was not recorded. We hope you were able to join us!
