Letter From Suzan Shown Harjo To Thomas King, August 12, 1985, Suzan Shown Harjo Aug 1985

Letter From Suzan Shown Harjo To Thomas King, August 12, 1985, Suzan Shown Harjo

Graves Protection and Repatriation

This typed letter from Suzan Shown Harjo, Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians, was sent to Dr. Thomas King, Director of Resource Preservation for the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, on August 12, 1985. Harjo praises the new draft Guidelines for the Consideration of Traditional Cultural Values in Historic Preservation Review because they promote active consultation with American Indians before grave sites are disturbed and favor reburial of remains over perceived scientific value. She contrasts the draft Guidelines with those of the U.S. Department of the Interior, which heavily favor the self-interests of archeologists and anthropologists.
