Abstract: | Collaborative planning theory and co-management paradigms promise conflict prevention and the incorporation of indigenous
knowledge into plans. Critics argue that without devolved power to culturally legitimate institutions, indigenous perspectives
are marginalized. Co-management practice in North America is largely limited to treaty-protected fish and wildlife because
federal agencies cannot devolve land management authority. This paper explores why the Pueblo de Cochiti, a federally recognized
American Indian Tribe, and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management sustained an rare joint management agreement for the Kasha-Katuwe
Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico despite a history of conflict over federal control of customary tribal lands that
discouraged the Pueblo from working with federal agencies. Based on the participant interviews and documents, the case suggests
that clear agreements, management attitudes, and the direct representation of indigenous forms of government helped achieve
presumed co-management benefits. However, parties enter these agreements strategically. We should study, not assume, participant
goals in collaborative processes and co-management institutions and pay special attention to the opportunities and constraints
of federal laws and institutional culture for collaborative resource management with tribal and local communities. |
