Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study examines Native American tribes’ current efforts to preserve their heritage through the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The study focuses on the Northern Cheyenne tribe, one of the most active native entities in terms of registering their sacred sites and battle sites as National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Employing field research and archive research, the study finds that there is a considerable gap between the framework for the NRHP registration and the tribe’s definition of the sacred sites, and that could be translated as a discrepancy between U.S. national history and the tribe’s collective memories. While to what extent the NHPA effectively functions for the Native claims of land preservation is still uncertain, by preserving tribal memories through the NHPA, the tribe retains ability to voice their interpretation of historic events, thereby redefining the meaning of tribal sovereignty in the 21st century Untied States.
