Native American sites
Tribal heritage places
Native American sites are locations significant to Indigenous peoples of the Americas—ancient settlements, burial grounds, ceremonial areas, or places of cultural importance.
The phrase appears most often in contexts of preservation, archaeology, and land-use disputes: The pipeline was rerouted to avoid Native American sites.
Federal laws like NAGPRA protect such sites from disturbance.
