M-X Environmental Technical Report. Environmental Characteristics of Alternative Designated Deployment Areas, Native Americans (Texas/New Mexico).
Abstract
There are no Native American reservation or colonies in the Texas/New Mexico study area, unlike the Nevada/Utah study area. No Native American socioeconomic resources have been identified as existing within the study area. This is the result of history, time, and distance, as will be explored below. Surprisingly few cultural resources have been identified in the area, given the known historical occupation by Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, and Kiowas Apaches. The sensitivity of known cultural resources for contemporary Native Americans living to the west in New Mexico and to the east in Oklahoma is also unknown but is expected to be low due to the long-term absence of Native Americans from the region and their greater concern for the areas in which they presently live. The general lack of information that exists for the study area in regard to Native American resources also partly reflects this lack of concern and small scientific interest with the remains of historic peoples in the study area.
