| Description: | The University of Kansas is a partner with Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Study Unit. The objective of this Agreement is to conduct a survey and inventory of culturally significant plant species present at Pea Ridge National Military Park (PERI), Arkansas. The Midwest Region Cultural Anthropology program, in collaboration with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Osage Tribe, will work with the Recipient to aid in identifying and understanding the best management practices for culturally significant plants identified on land encompassed within the boundaries of the Park. The study will be conducted in collaboration with the Osage Tribe, and document the plant species the Tribe identifies as culturally significant and which may be the subject of a later request by the Tribe to gather the identified species, subject to the criteria and conditions of regulations at 36 CFR 2.6. The Recipient will be tasked with completing an ethnographic study that will inventory and document such culturally significant plants. This project is a comprehensive evaluation based on ethnographic interviews with Osage Tribe members. The study shall conform to professional and scholarly standards regarding methodology of anthropological research and writing. Stylistic and bibliographical standards shall conform to the current requirements of the journal American Anthropologist, and the current Chicago Manual of Style. The study will provide baseline information needed by the NPS to conduct environmental analysis of the significant species and any potential impact from gathering the species for traditional purposes. |
