Working together with Native American tribes and descendant communities of all types is a requirement when complying with many cultural resource laws in the United States and it’s a good idea regardless of where our clients are working. Collaboration can provide insight, new perspectives, and knowledge about cultural and heritage resources unavailable from other sources.
Working together with descendant communities from the start of a project will produce a better product and will often expedite a project’s timeline, however, many clients are uncomfortable and uncertain about how and when to include members of these groups. MAC is glad to work with tribal consultants to ensure that your project goes off without a hitch and that their cultural properties are left as undisturbed as possible.
MAC is one of only a few firms that has a Native American tribal consultation specialist on staff and other members of our staff have been consulting and collaborating with Native American communities for decades.
