Cultural Documentation of Stacked Rock Ceremonial Features at Crater Lake National Park

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to Portland State University for the project "Cultural Documentation of Stacked Rock Ceremonial Features at Crater Lake National Park." The project involves conducting consultation and oral history interviews with the Klamath Tribes, reviewing existing literature, and developing a cultural GIS database to document stacked rock ceremonial features within Crater Lake National Park. The project aims to advance the public understanding of traditional tribal uses of the park's landscapes for cultural purposes and to identify places of cultural and historical significance to tribes. The project will produce a compendium of findings, a National Register nomination, and other products that will be publicly available. Key aspects of the project include: • Conducting consultation and oral history interviews with the Klamath Tribes • Reviewing existing literature and developing a cultural GIS database • Documenting stacked rock ceremonial features within Crater Lake National Park • Producing a compendium of findings and a National Register nomination • Identifying places of cultural and historical significance to tribes • Advancing public understanding of traditional tribal uses of the park's landscapes for cultural purposes
