Project Description: The goal of this agreement is to assess the known historical and contemporary ethnographic contexts for people associated with Werowocomoco, and to supplement the information with new research in order to deliver a written product which will guide future interpretation and educational programming for NPS and its partners.
Project objectives include these steps: 1) collect and assess the known evidence of historical and contemporary Native connection to Werowocomoco, 2) consult with tribal communities to collect additional observations and evidence, and 3) deliver a report and raw materials that identifies tribal connections and makes recommendations for NPS treatment of Werowocomoco and engagement of tribal communities in a way that re-balances the park as a Native place.
