Description:

In 2010, the Navajo Nation began the Navajo San Juan Conservation Initiative in partnership with Round River Conservation Studies to develop and implement a Din Bikyah (people's land) conservation strategy for the public lands in southeastern Utah. Mapping of important cultural areas for the harvesting of traditional herbal medicines is of vital importance for the implementation of plan. Westminster students will assist Navajo elders with mapping these important sites and documenting their habitat characteristics.
