Included in this CLR are descriptions of the physical development of the Indian Garden landscape—from the time of American Indian involvement to contemporary changes to the site—and of the existing conditions of the project area as observed in 2002. Also provided is a preliminary statement of significance; a comparative analysis of existing and historic conditions; an evaluation of the landscape’s integrity; and treatment recommendations and guidelines that propose management strategies for the project area’s cultural, historic, and natural resources. The need for this CLR arose from the identification of management issues and proposed projects that could affect the existing landscape and its associated cultural and natural resources. The Grand Canyon National Park’s (GRCA) 1995 General Management Plan (GMP) addressed the need for interpretative programs, enhanced visitor services, and building rehabilitation projects in Indian Garden. The information contained within this report is intended to be used by the National Park Service (NPS) in the development of appropriate proposed actions for Indian Garden, during NEPA/NHPA compliance processes, and to aid with the determination of the effects of alterations to the cultural landscape. The JMA team provided all necessary services and supporting activities in the fields of landscape architecture, historical landscape architecture, historical research, historic architecture, archeology, ethnography, and natural resources to prepare this CLR. The primary standard for this effort was A Guide to Cultural Landscape Reports: Contents, Process and Technologies published in 1998 by the NPS. This document detailed the content, format, and methodologies appropriate for a CLR. Recommendations arising from this CLR comply with pertinent Federal standards, policies, and regulations, as well as all applicable state, local and national building and life safety codes.
