For nearly 60 years, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has given communities, Tribal Nations, and preservationists a seat at the table when federal projects threaten historic and sacred places. That protection is now at risk. Fight back sign up mailchi.mp/14260981b7ed...

Important article, this. As a professional historian working for a government agency, I’m not at all in favour of leaving it to government who gets to decide whose history is worth preserving. History is OURstory, not a commodity to be weighed against the bottom line of GDP or corporate profits.
