While the national monuments have long been considered the product of federal preservation efforts, this article explores the dynamic relationship between pothunters, boosters, and preservationists on the local stage. It argues that local and regional communities like Flagstaff, Arizona, played an important role in early efforts to promote and protect many western cultural resources. Adopting an imagined heritage and sense of history, Flagstaff’s residents powerfully and effectively advocated for the preservation of the Walnut Canyon cliff dwellings. Yet this imagined heritage was also a form of cultural appropriation, setting the stage for the decades-long exclusion of Native voices from the conversation
