Upholding Tribal Sovereignty: Protecting Native Places in a Shifting Landscape
Please join us for NATHPO's 25th Annual Conference & Sacred Places Summit happening September 8-12 at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, NV. The NATHPO Conference demonstrates the importance of fostering meaningful connections among diverse sectors and stakeholders in the field of heritage preservation. It highlights the benefits of collaboration in achieving shared goals, enhancing mutual understanding, and creating positive impacts for both present and future generations. By emphasizing the purpose behind preservation, the conference also invites us to consider the values, stories, and identities that shape our cultural heritage, how we can communicate them effectively, and to what broader end. From thought-provoking presentations to interactive workshops and site visits, our agenda offers a dynamic array of sessions tailored to inspire innovation, foster collaboration, and drive meaningful change.
We'd like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony for graciously hosting us at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, NV!
The National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (NATHPO) conference is the only national gathering of Tribal, federal, state, and industry representatives committed to protecting Native places. The conference is a keystone of NATHPO’s work to empower Tribal preservation leaders to protect culturally important places that perpetuate Native identity, resilience, and cultural endurance. Connections to cultural heritage sustain the health and vitality of Native peoples.
With deepest gratitude, we THANK our SPONSORS for their vital support. Your generosity propels us forward, shaping a brighter future together.
