GCDAMP under the Traditional Culture Program and working with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) since April of 1992, have been working together to develop and implement a long-term monitoring and scientific research program to assess the effects of Glen Canyon Dam on the natural, recreational, and socio-cultural resources of the Colorado River ecosystem. The Program is funded through a Cooperative Agreement with the BOR to address Navajo Nation concerns such as protection and preservation of historic and sacred prosperities in the canyon corridor.
