Ethnographic Overview and Assessment: Olympic National Park
Wray J and National Park Service. 1997. Ethnographic Overview and Assessment: Olympic National Park. Ethnographic Overview and Assessment
This document considers the relationships of eight tribal groups to Olympic National Park and its resources. These relationships are based on tradition, ancestral practices, and treaties, as well as contemporary law and policy. National Park Service mandates regarding resource protection may conflict with traditional Native American practices. The documentation of information on the lifeways of the indigenous people of the Olympic Peninsula will allow managers to examine existing cultural and natural preservation laws and policies as they relate to traditional use and practices. With this information, park managers can make informed decisions which involve the park, the tribes, and the relationships between and among them.
