Navajo people believe they have a sacred duty to protect archaeological sites, human remains, burial items, and cultural items found on sites. Navajo traditional history incorporates all aspects of Navajoland, and many traditional people believe that non-Navajo versions of history do not contain as much information about history as their own. In short, there is a tremendous amount of Navajo traditional information regarding the preservation and management of cultural resources. We know how to take care of cultural resources—we have been doing this for centuries, long before cultural resource protection legislation existed.
