Governmentality and Social Capital in Tribal/Federal Relations Regarding Heritage Consultation
Abstract
The objective of this effort is to develop a model for improved heritage consultation between the federal government and tribal leaders based on a new theoretical approach to social relationships and provide a shift in current discourse towards future relationships between the Anny and local populations in other countries. The Principal Investigator (PI) will coordinate a qualitative study of the impasse in federal/tribal discourses regarding heritage consultation, and collaboratively develop a model for improved consultation procedures. The study will address the repercussions of federal government discourse surrounding indigenous heritage and the utility of social capital for improving communication. The PI and a heritage consultant who specializes in federal/tribal relations will organize a series of heritage discussions with tribal .members who will serve as tribal consultants in a collaborative, involved exchange of ideas. Tribal consultants will include three tribal members who are professional heritage specialists, as well as two tribal members who are undergraduate students participating in a collaborative archaeological field school. Fieldwork will serve as a foundation for discussing the improvement of tribal/federal heritage management issues. This strategy is informed by practice theory, phenomenology, and the linkages between place, memory and multivocality that are valued by many tribal peoples. Permission
