description: From October 2001 to July 2002, Two Rivers Consultants and its subcontractor, SWCA Environmental Consultants, conducted a cultural affiliation survey of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument (CANM) in southwestern Colorado. The contractors also assisted the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Native American Graves and Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) consultation regarding existing NAGPRA collections being held at the Anasazi Heritage Center (AHC) in Dolores, Colorado. The purpose of this study was to consult with the tribes identified by the BLM as having potential traditional association with the lands in and adjacent to CANM. The ethnographic team initiated contact with 25 Native American tribes identified by the BLM as potentially having traditional association with the CANM area and cultural affiliation with human remains and associated funerary objects currently stored at the AHC. These tribes were asked if they wished to participate in this study and to what extent. A list of the consulting tribes is attached as Appendix A.
