Native American Interaction Program
The Yucca Mountain Project initiated the Native American Interaction Program in 1987 to protect the area’s cultural resources.

Archaeologist

This program involves 17 Native American tribes and organizations whose members have cultural and historic ties to the Yucca Mountain area (these include tribes of the Western Shoshone, Southern Paiute, and Owens Valley Paiute/Shoshone).

The goal of this program is to exchange information with these 17 tribes and organizations from Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California. The program provides ways for the tribes to keep us informed of their cultural and environmental concerns and for us to inform the tribes of Project plans and activities.
