WWII-Related Caves, Community Archaeology and Public Service Announcements: A Community Approach to Raising Awareness and Protecting Caves
Author(s): Jennifer F McKinnon; Toni Carrell; Genevieve S. Cabrera
Year: 2016
Summary
A recent ABPP-funded project explored community consensus building for the protection of WWII-related caves on the island of Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The project utilized radio and television public service announcements for the purpose of sharing a local message of protection and preservation of caves with the island community. This paper outlines the process of community engagement and involvement, recording privately owned WWII cave sites, developing a preservation plan and making and airing public service announcements as a model for a successful community archaeology approach.
