The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band: Reflections on Collaborative Archaeology

This paper briefly describes the history of landscape management practices among the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and the devastating impact that European contact had on these practices. As part of the revitalization of ancient ways, the Tribe is working with members of the research team to understand better some of these past management practices that may be employed today to assist in the restoration of local habitats and the health and vitality of indigenous plants and animals.
