Abstract: As
part of ongoing management of this park, the NPS needs to expand
the known information about groups associated with the resources
of EFMO. Information is needed specifically about the
associations American Indians have with and ascribe to the park
and general broader landscape. Their stories have not been
recorded. This information is critical to a balanced
educational and interpretive story for the park, and for
culturally sensitive resource management. The objective of the
study is to develop a documented basis of knowledge from which
park managers can anticipate resource management issues,
possible interpretive material, and educational information that
can be presented to the public. This study will be based
primarily on oral history interviews. NPS project manager and
PI for this project is Ms. Michelle L. Watson. The University
of South Dakota Oral History Center is responsible for all draft
and final documents and all deliverables related to this
transcription project.
