Cultural Resource Management and Tribal Cultural Resource Monitoring is a systematic approach aimed at equitably managing and mitigating decisions regarding limited cultural resources. This process entails evaluating and balancing the preservation of cultural sites, artifacts, and practices against development needs. It necessitates collaboration with stakeholders, including local tribal communities, historians, and government agencies, to honor and safeguard cultural heritage for future generations.

Successful CRM also requires a deep understanding of the historical and cultural contexts surrounding resources, engaging with local tribal knowledge, and incorporating modern technologies in archaeology and conservation. This comprehensive approach not only protects cultural richness but also promotes sustainable development.

Public education plays a crucial role in CRM, as cultivating an appreciation for cultural heritage fosters community support for preservation initiatives, enhances the cultural landscape, and creates valuable educational opportunities.
