Historic Preservation

The Iowa Tribe has given priority to the proteciton, preservation, and retention of its culture, and underscoring this aim, the Business Committee and General Council have enacted the Cultural Heritage Ordinance, which affords protection to all aspects of culture. For this reason, the Iowa Tribe ahs committed itself to dignified and respectful reburial of our ancestors. Our cultural heritage code also addresses other protections, such as language, dance, song, religion, intellectual properties, images, and archaeological sites.

To further this end, not only for our tribe but to assist all other Native American peoples in repatriation efforts and historic preservation, the Iowa Tribe has developed special expertise in sensitive archeaological projects. The center of these operation is located in Perkins, Oklahoma.
