"The Present and Future of the Maya World: The Role of the U.S.  
Department of State "

Greg Borgstede - Cultural Heritage Center in the United States  
Department of State


Dr. Borgstede will outline the role of the U.S. Department of State  
within the cultural heritage arena relative to the Maya World. He  
will discuss the current processes and instruments in place that the  
U.S. Government relies upon for its positions in cultural heritage  
discussions. It details the formal relationships the United States  
currently has with sovereign states in the Maya World relative to  
cultural heritage, focusing on how the past, both archaeologically  
and historically / culturally, has shaped the current relationship.  
He then will discuss the responsibilities and limitations of the U.S.  
Government in relation to the Maya World, as well as efforts to draw  
and rely upon the non-governmental sectors in cultural heritage.
