Resolution No. SI-R20-027: Tunyo and San Ildefonso Pueblo Revolt Landscape Oral History Project Act
At a duly called meeting of the Council of San Ildefonso Pueblo on the 29th day of December, 2020, the following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, the Pueblo de San Ildefonso ("Pueblo") is a sovereign and self-governing Tribe, recognized as such by the United States of America; and,

WHEREAS, the social memory of the events at Tunyo retained in the Pueblo de San Ildefonso community is an invaluable aspect of the cultural landscape of the Pueblo de San Ildefonso; and,

WHEREAS, research results approved by the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) will be presented to all stakeholders and other interested parties within the Pueblo de San Ildefonso community and, all project materials, including interview transcripts, will be archived at the Pueblo de San Ildefonso THPO to ensure their preservation for future generations; and,
WHEREAS, the Pueblo de San Ildefonso is committed to the balanced stewardship of Tunyo and the greater Pueblo Revolt landscape on the Pueblo de San Ildefonso Indian Reservation, land that is held in trust by the United States; and,
WHEREAS, this project will support the Pueblo's stewardship goals by obtaining and preserving valuable information about the historical events that took place at Tunyo, which will enable Pueblo de San Ildefonso to better prioritize their preservation and stewardship of the landscape; and,
WHEREAS, Pueblo de San Ildefonso, in partnership with Anthropological Research, LLC (Anthropological Research), proposes an oral history project that documents the living memory of the Pueblo Revolt within the Pueblo de San Ildefonso community under the auspices of the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program.
