This grant facilitates a collaborative Ethnographic Overview and Assessment between the National Park Service (NPS) and CUNY for Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. Its purpose is to deeply study Paterson’s demographic evolution, from early Native American occupation through the post-WWII industrial era. Key objectives include analyzing settlement patterns, socioeconomic adaptations, and cultural patterns of diverse ethnic groups, and identifying contemporary communities associated with the park and their resource uses. The project will also propose future ethnographic research and engagement strategies for park-associated groups, combining archival work with interviews to capture narratives of migration, settlement, and community formation.
