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 $182,200. This is a continuation of an existing agreement, Ethnohistory and Ethnoarchaeology of Reindeer Herding on the Alaska Peninsula. (Year 3 - Final) ending September 30 31, 2014. 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: This project will document a) the historic migration of Inupiat people to the central Alaska Peninsula (circa 1910), and b) the ethnohistory and ethnoarchaeology of reindeer herding in the Northern Alaska Peninsula (1910s-1940s). A main objective is to shed light on a relatively unknown facet of the ¿American period¿ of Southwest Alaska by exploring the connections between Inupiat migratory waves and reindeer economics in this region. Various sets of data will help understand the correlation between human population movements and modes of herding mobility across the Alaska Peninsula with emphasis on Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve (ANIA) and Katmai National Park & Preserve (KATM). Description and Scope of project This CESU agreement between NPS and the Department of Anthropology at UAF will consist of a 36-month research project (2011-2014), which includes multi-year ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological fieldwork and extensive archival research. The CESU agreement comprises an additional 24-month completion window for reporting results and disseminating findings (2014-2016). By relying on multiple forms of data collection, this project will illuminate the cultural heritage of the late and post - ¿American period¿ of the Alaska Peninsula and the legacies of this heritage. The project has two main objectives: a) to document the migration of Inupiat families from Nome to Pilot Point (in 1910) and Nelson b) to document the establishment of reindeer herds and the development of large-scale pastoralism near ANIA and KATM between the early 1910s and the late 1940s. Understanding to what extent these two historical phenomena are mutually coextensive also will be considered. By relying on archival sources, interviews and oral histories, landscape surveys, narratives of place and place-name research, as well as the more traditional anthropological methodology of participant-observation, this project will add to the ethnohistory and ethnoarchaeology record of reindeer herding of the Alaska Peninsula and Inupiat migration to that region. Project researchers will analyze the sociocultural change associated with these phenomena while seeking to understand the diverse perspectives of this change. Such a focus will illuminate land use patterns within and across Katmai and Aniakchak park boundaries, cross-cultural relationships of that time period, mobility patterns and resource uses by Inupiaq newcomers and established residents of the Alaska Peninsula. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: 1. Participate in videoconferences in Fairbanks between UAF/ANTH and NPS staff to supervise the research. 2. Work with NPS to maintain and further develop connections with community organizations and institutions. 3.
