As Archaeology Southwest’s Tribal Outreach Fellow, Mr. Begay will play a key role in planning and implementing an initiative to establish the Great Bend of the Gila National Conservation Area.
Welcome
For three decades, Archaeology Southwest has practiced a holistic, conservation-based approach to exploring the places of the past. We call this Preservation Archaeology. By exploring what makes a place special, sharing this knowledge in innovative ways, and enacting flexible site protection strategies, we foster meaningful connections to the past and respectfully safeguard its irreplaceable resources.
