Low SM, Taplin DH, Kirby A, Heppen M. 2006. Final report - Ethnographic overview and assessment, Fire Island National Seashore. Ethnographic Overview and Assessment. National Park Service, Department of the Interior
Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS) commissioned this Ethnographic Overview and Assessment pursuant to Park Service policies that require parks to consult with groups and communities having continuing ecological, cultural, and historical relationships with park resources. The research will have immediate and specific application in the development of a General Management Plan for the park. The Ethnographic Overview and Assessment reviews the state of knowledge and documentation on the groups and communities thought to have important and continuing cultural relationships with the Seashore’s natural and cultural resources. Part history and part ethnography, the EO&A traces the history of each of these groups and communities with regard to their use of and attachments to the lands, waters, fish and wildlife, and other resources within the FIIS boundary. Information in this EO&A will help managers evaluate requests for access to resources, as well as identify park resources that may require special treatment or protection.
