This webpage was put together by UPAC Tribal Relations Committee. The Tribal Relations Committee (TRC) was formed out of  a collective desire to establish a plan to ensure a more collaborative and inclusive future for archaeological work with Tribal communities.

If you want to learn more, or get involved with the TRC, you can access the Charter here. 

Land acknowledgement: The Utah Professional Archaeological Council recognizes all Tribes who have called Utah home since time immemorial. We honor their connection to this land, respect their history, and celebrate their living traditions. We appreciate the opportunity to live and work in their ancestral homelands. We will create a more collaborative and inclusive space to increase representation of Indigenous interests in professional archaeology.

​

This statement is a work in progress. UPAC is working towards involving Indigenous communities in our organization and we hope to craft guidance in collaboration with these communities.
