\nPipe Spring National Monument is seeking Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) collaborators to explore complex cultural connections through oral history interviews. These efforts will explore multicultural perspectives with several associated groups and assist the monument to document historic and prehistoric use of the land and water resources, develop ethnohistories, and create training and interpretative materials.
\nAll current CESU nonfederal partners will be considered, but the target audience are members of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Desert Southwest CESUs.
\nThe project may draw upon expertise from the fields of history, cultural anthropology, ethnography, archival research, oral history, or comparable fields.
\nThe NPS is requesting information on your interest and qualifications to provide expertise through a collaborative approach where both parties directly benefit from the cooperative process. Following the potential identification of a Principal Investigator (P.I.) and cooperator institution\/CESU partner on this project, the NPS hopes to immediately finalize a scope of work governing the project.<\/p>\n
\nSpecifically, the National Park Service would like the research to encompass the following:
\n1. Development and documentation of connections between the multiple cultural groups and the park\u2019s cultural and natural resources.
\n2. Development and documentation of connections and interactions between specific groups that have ties to the park\u2019s and the surrounding landscape\u2019s resources.
\n3. When connections and interactions are established, development of personal background history, exploration of the connection with the area, cultural meaning\/context of the resource(s), stories\/anecdotes related to that resource(s).
\n4. Completion of a Final Report detailing the individuals interviewed, linkages to the site and to the resource(s), edited transcriptions of interviews, signed release forms that meet NPS guidelines for all interviews conducted, archival-quality copies of all interview recordings on archival-quality DVDs, and copies of any research notes or material collected as a result of the project.
\n5. Creation of a database of persons\/organizations\/groups with an association to Pipe Spring who are discovered in the regular course of research but not interviewed – including name, likelihood they are willing to be interviewed, a brief description, dates of association, and source of the information- which the park can continue to build on in the future.
\n6. Other, to be determined during formative discussion between NPS and P.I.
\nPlease submit an electronic statement of interest to PISP Museum Curator, Brandon A. Sexton, at brandon_sexton@nps.gov, with copies to PISP Resource Management Technician, Brian Black, at brian_black@nps.gov<\/a> and PISP Chief of Interpretation and Visitor Services, Fermin Salas, at fermin_salas@nps.gov<\/a>, by the close of business April
\n30, 2018 or sooner.
\nShould you have questions, please feel free to contact the monument\u2019s Museum Curator, Brandon A. Sexton, at (928) 643-7105.<\/strong>
