Abstract

The White Mountain Apache Tribe has undertaken a watershed analysis and various demonstration projects in the Cibecue watershed in east-central Arizona. The results support an adaptive management strategy to promote ecological health, enhance economic opportunities, and protect cultural values. Some of the problems faced by today’s program are similar to those faced by a Cibecue watershed management project in the 1960s overseen by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). However, the Tribe’s current project has a more holistic goal of restoring streams to health through community-based efforts.
