NPS ethnographers, along with professionals from other programs,
agencies, and organizations, teach how to incorporate ethnography
into park planning, management, and interpretation. Ethnographers
also conduct special classes in how to do oral
histories and rapid ethnographic assessments. Typically, representatives
from ethnic communities and other stakeholder groups participate
alongside training staff.
These courses train participants in the legal
basis for park relationships with tribes, Alaskan Natives, and
Native Hawaiians. The training concerns the full array of American
peoples; distance learning courses are planned on African American
and Asian American interests.
NPS ethnographers are active in a wide range of
professional associations and activities, nationally and internationally.
