Last week, Historic and Cultural Preservation Department (HCPD) personnel traveled to Chattanooga to conduct preservation activities and attend the Southeastern Archaeological Conference (SEAC). This year, HCPD staff planned numerous engagements with the archaeological community to share our perspectives and defend Muskogean cultural heritage.

The impact of these presentations and discussions are changing the way non-Native archaeologist see descendant communities and treat our ancestors. Because of the involvement of MCN and other Tribes, SEAC has reevaluated its policies and changed course. This month, SEAC members will vote whether to continue to consult with Tribes on using images of their ancestor's funerary objects in the journal or rescind their image policy. HCPD is confident that the tide is changing within the community and creating more space for descendant communities.

Please take a look at the activities HCPD staff engaged in:

RaeLynn Butler, Acting Secretary of Culture and Humanities & Manager of the Historic and Cultural Preservation Department – SEAC Image Policy Panel; NAGPRA Implementation in the Southeast: A Practitioner Update; Native Visions, Native Voices: Living Traditions and What Archaeologists can Learn from Descendants; The Reality of NAGPRA, from a Tribal Perspective

Robin Soweka Jr., Cultural Resources Specialist – Where is the Manual? One Score of Finding the Middle Ground in the Management of Cultural Resources in the Tennessee Valley

Emman Spain, NAGPRA Coordinator – The Reality of NAGPRA, from a Tribal Perspective

LeeAnne Wendt, Tribal Archaeologist – A New Career Path: Working for a Tribal Community

Gano Perez, GIS Specialist – Current and future Collaborative Research at the site of Brown’s Mount (9BI5) in the Ocmulgee River Corridor in Central Georgia, with Carey Garland & Victor Thompson

Congratulations to Muscogee Nation's Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Turner W. Hunt, on his recent article published in Preservation, Education, & Research journal titled Building Rapport and the Foundation of Good Partnerships: The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Approach to Protecting Cultural Sites in Partnership with Department of Defense Components.

The MCN THPO is featured alongside National and International experts in Cultural Property Protection, including Lt. General Erik Peterson, Deputy Chief of Staff of Programs for the U.S. Army and the first recipient of the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield Award for Protection of Cultural Property.

One upcoming result of these partnerships is between MCN and Ft. Moore (Previously Ft. Benning) is that the Access Control Point closest to the old Kvsehtv Tribal Town location will be memorialized in honor of Lt. Col. Childers, MCN Citizen and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
