The California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) is a state agency established to protect and preserve the cultural heritage of California's Native American tribes. It serves as a resource for tribes, government agencies, and the public, providing guidance on issues related to Native American heritage, including burial sites and cultural resources. The commission also plays a vital role in consulting with tribes on projects that may impact their cultural resources. It works to ensure that the rights and interests of California's Native American communities are respected and upheld in various development and land-use decisions.
