Biographical / Historical
__This collection consists of Chaco Protection Sites Program records from the Navajo Nation, a partnership created with the National Park Service in support of the Chaco Protection Sites Program legislated in 1980 (PL 96-550). Continuous cooperative agreements created annual work plans involving NPS and the Navajo Nation CPSP. The COTR for the CA was the Chief of Cultural Resources, Dabney Ford. Manager of the NNCPSP was John R. Stein.
The NNCPSP primary function as implemented by the IMG's Joint Management Plan was to protect, preserve, and interpret sites on Navajo Nation land through field archeology, non-invasive archeology, and traditional culture, e.g. ethnography. The NNCPSP Manager and the NPS liaison positons were funded by the early '90s, with work beginning in 1993. The 1995 amendment created a funding stream via the Chaco Culture NHP for NNCPSP.
