The Isle Royal Folkefiskerisamfunn: An Ethnohistory of the Scandinavian Folk Fisherman of Isle Royal National Park

Toupal RS, Stoffle RW, Zedeño MN. 2002. The Isle Royal Folkefiskerisamfunn: An Ethnohistory of the Scandinavian Folk Fisherman of Isle Royal National Park

The purpose of this study is to document and analyze historic and contemporary commercial fishing in the immediate vicinity of ISLE ROYALE including the identification of specific ethnic or social groups who have both traditional and contemporary ties to this fishery. By identifying resource use areas and concerns that may affect NPS management responsibilities, the results of this study will aid managers to anticipate resource protection issues that may affect Isle Royale National Park. The ability to anticipate such issues will place managers in a better position to understand and deal with such issues specifically as these pertain to the development of further cultural and natural resource studies, interpretative programs, and management decisions.
