Museum professionals and archeologists (academic, contracted, independent, etc.) play a key role in preserving cultural heritage. Collaborating with Texas Tribes: A Workbook for Museum Professionals and Archeologists serves as a starting point for those interested in doing this work better when it comes to collaborating with Native American communities. This resource provides practical steps for those on this important journey.
This project was created as part of an interagency partnership between the Texas Historical Commission and the Texas Department of Transportation. Workbook content written by Story + Reason.
