An Ethnographic Overview and Assessment of the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and Other Areas in Southern Idaho
Myers LD. 1999. An Ethnographic Overview and Assessment of the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument and Other Areas in Southern Idaho
This report provides an ethnographic overview and assessment of the historical American Indian populations and their descendants as they relate to four study areas in Southern Idaho. These study areas are: Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, City of Rocks National Reserve, and the Bear River National Historic Landmark. Using a two tier system of demarcation, each study area is classed by environmental and geographical considerations under a human ecology perspective. The ethnographic record of the aboriginal cultures of southern Idaho is discussed in terms of four broad categories (settlement, subsistence, material culture, and sociology). Descendants of these aboriginal groups fall under three tribal entities: the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes at Fort Hall, Idaho; Shoshone-Paiute Tribes at Duck Valley, Nevada/Idaho; and the Northwestern Band of the Shoshoni Nation at Brigham City/Washakie, Utah. The ethnographic record is evaluated and assessed for relevant information for NPS management purposes.
