THPOs Increase in Number

More and more, Indian tribes are assuming responsibility for managing their cultural heritage. The National Historic Preservation Act, amended in c 1992, provides tribes the opportunity to control their cultural destiny. The num­ o ber of tribes assuming State Historic Preservation Officers' responsibilities is increasing. To date, there are 22 tribes with Tribal Historic Preservation Offi­ cers' (THPO) status, and there are another five tribes awaiting the Direc­ > tor's approval.

The National Historic Preservation Act 0 of 1966, sets forth a national program aimed at preserving places significant (A in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture.
