Preserving the Past, Practicing in the Present:
Defining Cultural Resource Planning in the 21st Century

The 2008 Cultural Resource Planning Summit is being held at the scenic
Kiana Lodge with sleeping rooms just a moment away at the Clearwater
Casino Resort Suquamish, WA, right between Poulsbo and Bainbridge
Island at the Agate Pass Bridge. Just a short ferry ride from Seattle
or Edmonds.

Preserving our connection to the past continues to be an enormous
responsibility in today's rapidly changing world.  Successful
preservation efforts require integration of divergent approaches to
research and sensitivity to the concerns of various conflicting
interests.

Preservation of archaeological sites, graves, cemeteries and historic
buildings is often a source of conflict, as State, Tribal and local
governments approach resource planning from vastly different
perspectives.  However, it is increasingly evident that productive
partnerships are required to forge a sensible cultural resource
planning policy.

Come join your statewide preservation partners as we examine the
issues and identify the solutions needed to chart an effective course
for cultural resource planning in the 21st Century!

Keynote Speakers include Dr. Rosita Worl & Dr. Tom King

Session Topics Include:

Work Session on Proposed Human Remains Legislation

The Federal Partners: What Are Their Cultural Resource
Responsibilities and How Do They Fulfill Them in Relation to Your
Project?
