Christopher Coder, Tribal Program

Chris Coder has been instrumental in identifying archaeological evidence of Yavapai and Apache occupations. He has also played a major role in successful repatriation negotiations with the Denver Art Museum. In the context of a larger project meant to restore the flow of Fossil Creek, Coder documented Apache campsites, farms, and traditional cultural properties. He also gathered important ethohistorical and ethnobotanical data on behalf of the Nation.
