The entrance of Native Americans into the world of cultural resource management is forcing a change in the traditional paradigms that have guided archaeologists, anthropologists, and other CRM professionals. This book examines these developments from tribal perspectives, and articulates native views on the identification of cultural resources, how they should be handled and by whom, and what their meaning is in contemporary life.

"[The authors] provide excellent coverage of the legal aspects of tribal sovereignty over cultural resources and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers...[this book is] a "must read" for archaeologists, but will also be fascinating to others concerned about cultural property rights and changes in Native American sovereignty." - Key Reporter, Winter 2004, Vol. 69, No.1
