About Us
Kumeyaay Heritage Preservation Committee is a consortium of federally recognized Kumeyaay Indian Bands formed by delegation of Tribal board members by each Tribe’s Chairperson for the purpose of managing mitigation funds that the Bands receive from development projects, including renewable energy projects.
The Mission of KHPC is to prevent the loss and adverse impacts of the Kumeyaay’s heritage, spirituality and cultural resources within the aboriginal territory of the Kumeyaay people.
