About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project with University of Alaska Fairbanks under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The project intended award is $26,674. This is a continuation of an existing agreement, number P11AT90439-P11AC90450. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: Agreements Concerning Cooperative Research and Training on NPS Resources (16 § 1a-2(j)): The Secretary may enter into agreements with public or private educational institutions, States and their political subdivisions, for the purpose of developing research and training programs concerning the resources of the National Park System, and pursuant to such agreements, to accept from and make available to the cooperator such technical and support staff, financial assistance for mutually agreed upon research projects, supplies and administrative services relating to cooperative research units as the Secretary deems appropriate. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: Material will be collected (maps, photographs, and interviews) from six (6) communities along the Alaska Highway that have customary and traditional ties to Wrangell-St. Elias -- Healy Lake, Dot and Northway. Most of these communities in the Upper Tanana region were recognized as having ties to the park after the original jukebox was created in the early 1990s. Their inclusion in the jukebox was one of the recommendations in the National Park Service's (NPS) recently completed "Upper Tanana Ethnographic Overview and Assessment". An average of three to four interviews will be conducted in each community. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve is in need of interpretive programs and displays highlighting local communities with ties to the park. Some residents of these communities are Alaska Natives with long established ties to the land. There are also many non-Native histories in the region, such as mining and trapping. The special ties that residents of the upper Tanana region have to the land are recognized in the designation of Healy Lake, Dot and Northway as resident zone communities for the park. For all but Tok, this designation occurred after the original jukebox was developed and consequently these communities are not currently represented. In addition, computer technology and web standards have improved in the years since the park's jukebox was originally created. Consequently that material needs to be updated to meet the NPS's current security and accessibility standards as well as to incorporate modern web technology. The jukebox materials are available to the public on the internet as well as at computers in the park's visitor centers and other visitor contact stations. Information obtained through these interviews can provide important facts about people's lives, which often cannot be found in anywhere else. It would be unfortunate to have these people pass away before what they know can be passed onto the present and future generations. For visitors, a multi-media interactive program offers an introduction to communities and cultures with which they may have opportunities to interact. For park managers and other employees, the interviews support the park's ethnographic overview and assessments, the administrative history, other cultural resource studies, and subsistence management as well as education and interpretation programs. And for virtual visitors who may never have an opportunity to set foot in an Alaskan village, the program offers glimpses of the people, their history, and the setting of their community. Elders and other individuals to be interviewed will be identified with relevant village councils, and we will work in partnership with these federally recognized tribal governments in identifying interview themes.
