Bringing Traditional Knowledge into Citizen Science Systems

Author(s): David J. Goldstein

Year: 2020

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Archeology, Citizen Science, and the National Park Service" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

The National Park Service has a developing Traditional Knowledge Program that has increasingly been used in tandem with more formal park programming. This situation has been most recently deployed through youth programming. The Northeast Regional Office continues to use through its Tribal Affairs and Archaeology programs multiple avenues for rcognizing where Traditional Knowledge (TK) intersects stewardship programming. After a review of the general ways that TK has entered into the NPS broadly, we will examine the successes and pitfalls of some of our more recent work for developing an Ethnographic Overview for Roger Williams National Historic Site, Staff NAGPRA Training for NPS Employees, Managament Planning for the new Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, and ongoing Arcaheolgical Battlefield survey at Saratoga National Historic Battlefield.
