The Native Peoples of the Plateaus and Canyonlands exhibit was written by Dr. Nancy Kenmotsu, director of Cultural Resource Management at the Texas Department of Transportation. TBH Co-Editor Susan Dial developed the exhibit and imagery and contributed sections to the writing.

Kenmotsu holds an M.A. from the University of Colorado and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin, with her doctoral studies focused on the native peoples of the Junta de los Ríos region of west Texas. She and Dr. Mariah Wade are co-authors of Amistad National Recreation Area: American Indian Tribal Affiliation Study, An Ethnohistoric Literature Review. Wade also is the author of The Native Americans of the Texas Edwards Plateau. Both works were major resources consulted in these exhibits (see complete citations below).
