Natives “Detecting Native Ancestors" NDNA Monitoring & Consulting, LLC is based out of San Juan Capistrano and Santa Barbara, California. The company was established to help protect native ancestors as developers and modern times continue along the course of growth and expansion.
While development is the main reason NDNA is contacted, we are dedicated to preservation and conservation. Our primary goal is to advocate for ancestors to remain at rest and cultural related items to remain undisturbed in the arms of Mother Earth before anything else. Although this is not always possible, our secondary goal is to work with Most Likely Descendants (MLD) to reinter ancestors with respect and dignity and when necessary, return cultural items to the descendant tribe. We always follow tribal protocol and help educate non-natives and companies to abide by NAGPRA and State regulations.
Our company is 100% Native owned and operated. We are registered as a Limited Liability Company and are fully insured. NDNA intends to provide a safe and drug & alcohol free work environment for our clients and most importantly out of respect and honor for those we are protecting,
the ancestors. As such, all monitors are subject to drug & alcohol testing.
NDNA proudly partners with local tribes, including the Barbareno Chumash, the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians,
Acjachemen Nation, and the San Fernando Band of Mission Indians for cultural preservation and to protect their ancestors.
