Cited N/A Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW Our project is an
examination and documentation of the Bering Strait region indigenous
residentsâ¿¿ knowledge and beliefs about, and experiences with,
supernatural phenomena. â¿¿Supernaturalâ¿¿ is used here to refer to
elements in and aspects of the environment such as little people,
unexplained lights, sea monsters, invisible sea birds, animals with
transformative powers, a variety of other non-human persons, landscape
features with special powers, and other similar phenomena as defined by
participants. This project includes collaborations with 17 of the 20
tribes in the Bering Strait region of Alaska. STATEMENT OF JOINT
OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The primary objective of this
project is to investigate Bering Strait Inuit residentsâ¿¿ beliefs and
knowledge about (and experiences with) the supernatural environment, and
to examine the roles these play in guiding interactions with animals,
the landscape and the environment in general. Other project goals
include: 1) To document as fully as possible from archival and other
sources what is known about traditional beliefs, knowledge and
experience regarding the supernatural, 2) To document contemporary
beliefs, knowledge and experiences regarding the supernatural, 3) To
explore the importance of the form, contexts, and significance of
knowledge sharing about the supernatural, and 4) To return knowledge
that has been previously documented to communities in an accessible
format. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT A. Kawerak, Inc. agrees to: 1.
Conduct archival research at the Kawerak Eskimo Heritage Program, Bering
Straits Native Corporation and at the Alaska Polar Regions Collection
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to produce a detailed summary of
the information pertaining indigenous residentâ¿¿s knowledge about the
supernatural environment and how these beliefs guide their interactions
with animals, the landscape and the environment in general to make this
information accessible to Bering Strait communities. 2. Conduct no less
than 80 individual consultations with tribal elders and community
members in villages across northwest Alaska including: Brevig Mission,
Council, Diomede, Elim, Gambell, Golovon, King Island, Koyuk Maryâ¿¿s
Igloo, Nome, Savoonga, Shaktoolik, Shishmaref, Solomon, Stebbins, St.
Michael, Teller, Unalakleet, Wales and White Mountain 3. Facilitate
community meetings and storytelling nights in the collaborating
communities. Community members of all ages will be encouraged to
participate. Kawerak, Inc. will document these events through digital
recordings. 4. Document community memberâ¿¿s personal experience with
the supernatural through focus groups held in at least five communities
with approximately five or six participants/group. 5. Record audio
and/or video and transcribe the storytelling and consultations and to
archive these with the Eskimo Heritage Program files. 6. Analyze
archival material, transcripts and notes, participant observation notes,
focus group and story-telling notes and other texts. 7. Produce a book
manuscript, in addition to the archival summary, detailing the projects
findings. 8. Report to Bering Strait communities through conferences and
other meetings the results of the project (Year 3). NATIONAL PARK
SERVICE INVOLVEMENT B. NPS agrees to: 1. Act as liaison with the
partner and possible individuals or groups in the Beringia region that
may be interested in the Traditional Knowledge of the Native People of
Alaska regarding the â¿¿Supernatural Environmentâ¿ and their
interactions with the environment and natural world. 2. To the extent
possible, assist with organizing workshops and trainings, assist making
agreements on using government housing, and other logistical support.
3. Provide technical assistance and safety briefings related to project
and geographic location. 4. Utilize the Beringia Programâ¿¿s contacts
in Alaska and Russia (especially in Native communities) to inform
communities and organizations about the project. Assist with the
dissemination of information working with local park units to post
information, advertise workshops, and share project activities and
outcome on the NPS Shared Beringian Heritage Program website and Alaska
National Parks Facebook page. 5. Use the network of contacts, the
Shared Beringia Heritage program website, and the Alaska National Parks
Facebook page to share information from the final and interim reports
with the public, as well as with targeted audiences through the
development of a project-specific distribution plan. First and foremost
it will be targeted toward the communities in the Bering Strait region.
6. Have the project products translated into Russian.
