NATHPO is proud to announce the Second Annual Sacred Places Summit will be held virtually September 21-22, 2022.
This year’s theme is THPOs at 30 – Making Meaningful Mean Something.

 

Mark your calendars for the Second Annual NATHPO Sacred Places Summit, a virtual event, to be held on September 21 & 22, 2022. The stars will align yet again with this year’s theme THPOs at 30 – Making Meaningful Mean Something. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1992 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) that created the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) program. What progress has been made in the last three decades, where are we now, and where should we be heading? Tribal, federal & state agency, legislative, and industry voices will engage in how to create lasting, transformational changes to Protect Native Places. As promised, we’ll also check on the progress made over the last year and identify goals to make meaningful strides forward in the year to come.
