An official website of the Subclassification: cultural landscape
Cultural landscapes recognize lands with significant cultural value to American Indian Tribes and other cultural communities. Cultural landscapes of significance:
- Recognize and protect culturally significant landscapes including American Indian burial grounds.
- Help interpret and educate visitors on the significance of the cultural landscape.
- Do not require that recreation be part of the unit.
- May be designed to protect areas of significant cultural or sacred meaning to groups. This includes protecting these spaces and designing them in a way that limits public access and foot traffic.
