Description
Sacred Sites, Sovereign Tools:
Developing Cultural Protections for your Tribe
Oct 21, 2025 03:00 PM EST
As Tribal Nations confront mounting threats to sacred places, burial sites, and traditional cultural landscapes, one of the most powerful—and underutilized—tools in a THPO’s toolkit is the use of Tribal law to directly assert jurisdiction, enforce cultural protections, and secure funding for preservation work. This webinar will explore how Tribal governments can continue using their inherent sovereignty to develop and enforce legal protections for sacred and cultural places, including through cultural resource codes, enforcement regimes, civil recovery systems, and direct negotiations with project developers.
