BLM OR-WA CCS Cultural Resources Research and Interpretation: Southern Oregon was home to several Tribes of Native Americans before Euro-American influx to the area and the subsequent forced removal of Tribal people. Modern day Tribes are still actively engaged in the management of public lands and the many resources that are found there, and have a vested interest in interpretation and protection of those resources. Tribes consider many resources to be â¿¿cultural resources including plants and animals. The need for interpretive opportunities throughout the region has increased, along with the need to protect important resources. In order to meet these needs research into Native American history, surveys of archaeological sites and plant communities, including restoration and stabilization of these sites, is needed.

The objective of this project is to create interpretive opportunities for the public throughout the BLM Medford District and within the Wild and Scenic Rogue River Corridor. Individual projects may include, but not be limited to:
â¿¢Archaeological surveys, recordation and/or monitoring;
â¿¢Archaeological protection, restoration and stabilization of historical sites and plant communities;
â¿¢Development of environmental education, outreach and interpretation opportunities;
â¿¢Collection of historical plant material harvesting and processing techniques;
â¿¢Native American artifact collections studies;
