The Subject

<p class="Default"><em>This paper will provide an overview of the historical influences that are the subject of the time-mapping visualization of Taiwan, primarily from the perspective of how those influences affected the island’s original inhabitants. This narrative accompanies a description of the mapping project itself—part of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative based at UC Berkeley—including details related to the source of historical/geographical data and the digitization of that data for dynamic representation. This project is centred on the cultural resources and experience of Taiwan, which today faces issues of aboriginal language extinction, identification and access to cultural resources, the teaching of history in public education, and adapting to a multicultural identity, all of which are components of cultural resource management (CRM), and all of which would be served well by the CRM technology and programs of which this project can be considered a pilot project. </em></p>

New Perspective

This book provides a radical rethinking of the relationships between teaching, researching, digging, and practicing as an archaeologist in the twenty-first century. The issues addressed here are global and are applicable wherever archaeology is taught, practiced, and researched. In short, this book is applicable to everyone from academia to cultural resource management (CRM), from heritage professional to undergraduate student. At its heart, it addresses the undervaluation of teaching, demonstrating that this affects the fundamentals of contemporary archaeological practice, and is particularly connected to the lack of diversity in disciplinary demographics. It proposes a solution which is grounded in a theoretical rethinking of our teaching, training, and practice. Drawing upon the insights from archaeology’s current material turn, and particularly Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of assemblages, this volume turns the discipline of archaeology into the subject of investigation, considering the relationships between teaching, practice, and research. It offers a new perspective which prompts a rethinking of our expectations and values with regard to teaching, training, and doing archaeology, and ultimately argues that we are all constantly becoming archaeologists.

The Right

With only ten chapters, Tribal Cultural Resource Management provides model strategies of what it takes to properly “manage” cultural resources. Although it is geared toward tribal governments and creating the right combination of preservation and protection of their culture, don’t let the title fool you, this book is for any person who has a responsibility as a land manager. Those currently involved in Cultural Resource Management (CRM) work should give this book a close read. Off hand, I can think of several federal agencies, especially those operating without Cultural Resource Management Plans, who could truly benefit from following the practical strategies outlined in this readable and informal book.

Cultural Resource

Cultural resource management, normally referred to as “CRM,” may be defined as cultural heritage management within a framework of federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidelines. Cultural heritage, in terms of cultural resource management, may be defined as those places, objects, structures, buildings, and evidence of past material culture and life that are important to understanding, appreciating, or preserving the past. CRM is similar to heritage programs in other countries, but the term and practice of CRM as defined here is unique to the United States. America’s concern with cultural resources was reflected early in the 20th century with passage of the American Antiquities Act of 1906, which authorized the president to establish national monuments of federally owned or controlled properties, and for the secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture, and the Army to issue permits for investigations of archaeological sites and objects on lands they controlled. The National Park Service was created in 1916 and assumed responsibility for cultural resources associated with national parks and monuments. Archaeology played a prominent role in the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and other relief programs during the Great Depression, and large-scale investigations that employed thousands were conducted across the country. Cultural resource management, as it is currently practiced, was a product of the environmental movement of the 1960s, when federal cultural resources were given the same level of protection as elements of the natural environment, such as wetlands and protected plant and animal species. Cultural resource management deals with a range of resource types, and the breadth of the field will be reflected in the discussions that follow.

We have been fortunate over the last few years to work alongside Native Americans in conducting cultural resource management activities. These experiences have helped us appreciate the importance of cultural resources to the Indian people. We are convinced that Native Americans must be directly involved in cultural resource management activities for two main reasons: they understand the cultural resources in ways that non-Indians probably never can, and because these sites are an integral part of their past, present, and future, they care more about them than non-Indians do. Thus, if the resources are to be protected and made available to future generations of Native Americans, Native Americans must take an active role in managing the resources.

History Of

Dr. Muriel (Miki) Crespi made extraordinary contributions to the development of the field of cultural resource management, especially in conceiving, launching, and developing an Ethnography Program in the National Park Service. As Associate Director for Cultural Resources of the Service, I had the pleasure of sharing part of that experience with her. This paper is not a researched history of that experience, but is rather my personal recollection, containing all of the advantages and disadvantages of that perspective. The Ethnography Program has now been around long enough and made enough demonstrable differences in the field of cultural resource management that it ought to be the subject of a thorough administrative history. To the scholar who undertakes that history, I especially recommend a detailed examination of the planning, execution, and follow-up of the First World Conference on Cultural Parks, which I would describe as the seminal event behind the Ethnography Program.

The articles presented in this volume were prepared for the 1997 Society for Applied Anthropology Meetings held in Seattle, Washington. The purpose of the session was to convey what is happening in the world of cultural resource management in Indian country today. There is a change underway, due primarily to the direct involvement of Native Americans in cultural resource management. The field is changing from viewing cultural resources as sources of scientific information to understanding cultural resources as important parts of indigenous cultural systems.

Cultural resource management (CRM) is nothing new in Indian Country. American Indians have always managed their natural and cultural resources with respect by remembering where we originated from—Mother Earth. Remembering those who came before us Native peoples inherit the responsibility to protect our traditional tribal way of life for generations to come. The Mid-Columbia River tribes known as the Umatilla Cayuse, and Walla Walla have been forced into many battles over land and resources since the passing of Lewis and Clark in 1805. Many of these battles have been simply to gain recognition as indigenous people who have the aboriginal right to manage those resources connecting us to our ancestral cultural heritage. This is a difficult task when simultaneously observing the desecration, or outright destruction, of aboriginal resources during the recent historic past.

Cultural preservation laws are concerned with the protection of the archaeological record for humanistic and scientific purposes. However, as Native American leaders, scholars, cultural resource managers, and archaeologists become increasingly engaged in cultural preservation issues and assume the legal responsibilities of cultural resource management (CRM), they soon realize that federal and state cultural preservation laws do more to promote the norms and values of the dominant society than it does of indigenous culture. As a consequence, the Native community finds itself immersed in a form of community-centered advocacy that not only seeks to educate federal agencies with whom they work but to show that the application of law, despite its limitations, should be proactive in its approach in protecting and managing Native American cultural resources.
