Summary
This thesis reveals how UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Chaco Culture, Mesa Verde, and Taos Pueblo, serve as living cultural links for Pueblo and Navajo tribes, blending federal recognition with indigenous heritage. It highlights the shift in patrimonialization processes from a predominantly Euro-American framework to one that integrates tribal perspectives, particularly through the National Park Service's collaboration with Native communities. The study demonstrates how these sites, governed by NAGPRA laws, have become tools for cultural legitimacy and identity, while also examining the impact of tourism on indigenous narratives. By analyzing educational programs and visitor perceptions, the research underscores the complex interplay between heritage preservation, political agency, and cultural representation in modern conservation efforts.
