The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the National Park Service (NPS) held a forum
to discuss Native American traditional cultural landscapes on August 10, 2011, at the Daybreak Star
Cultural Center in Seattle, Washington. In response to the growing threats to cultural landscapes of
religious and cultural significance to Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the forum was
intended to introduce the members of the ACHP to the challenges in the identification, evaluation, and
preservation of these large historic properties.
