BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT ETHNOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT PARTNERSHIP
CASE STUDY
Montana BLM continues its partnership with Chief Dull Knife College and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe on an Ecoregional Ethnographic Assessment, which focuses on identifying, documenting, evaluating, and mapping places of traditional religious or cultural significance to the tribe, and identifying culturally important plant and animal species and their associated ecosystems that are critical for the maintenance of Northern Cheyenne cultures and traditions.The tribe benefits by capturing this legacy data for present and future generations. BLM benefits by gaining a better understanding of the tribe’s significant resources and by being able to make more informed land management decisions. BLM plans to begin work with the Crow and Yankton Sioux Tribes on similar projects.
