Flamingo Road, Suite 160 Las Vegas, Nevada and Federal Highway Administration Central Federal Lands Highway Division Denver, Colorado Prepared By Richard W. Stoffle, Ph.D. M. Nieves Zedeno, Ph.D. Amy Eisenberg, M.S. Rebecca Toupal, M.L.A. Alex K. Carroll, M.A. Fabio Pittaluga, M.A. John Amato, LPN Tray G. Earnest, B.A. Genevieve Dewey, B.A. Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology The University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona 85721 With a Contribution by Henry F. Dobyns Revised July 12, 2000 Foreword This foreword clarifies some issues of interpretation that may arise during the reading of this report. First and foremost, this is a report of ideas that have been expressed by American Indian elders officially sent by their tribal governments to talk about places connected with the proposed Hoover Dam Bypass project. Second, this report provides ethnographic and ethnohistorical background, which serves to contextualize the statements of Indian people. This background analysis is designed to help the reader better understand the Indian statements by knowing that they have time- depth, ethnographic foundations, and historical documentation. Indian statements stand on their own authority, and the background analysis is not meant as a step toward validating these statements. The Hoover Dam Bypass project is in its the final stages of preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

He was a history teacher in the New York City public school system for 33 years, and not only did he instill in me a love of learning, but a profound interest in what would eventually become my discipline.

  • Places in Nevada Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
    National Register of Historic Places - Nevada (eff. November 3, 2020) (Listed alphabetically by County, City, then Resource Name) Certain sites listed below have been determined as archaeologically or culturally sensitive and their locations are confidential as a condition of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. Collecting artifacts from public land without a permit from the managing agency is looting, and is a felony under federal law [43 CFR 7 ] and a misdemeanor under state law [ NRS 383.435]. Looting destroys the ability of archaeologists to research these important places and robs future generations of the opportunity to keep learning about Nevada’s past. Please help us preserve important archaeological sites by leaving artifacts where you found them and reporting looting to the appropriate law enforcement officials.
