GeomorphIS Team to Support USFS Pikes Peak Ethnographic Resources and Traditional Use Study

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) tasked a GeomorphIS-Algonquin-EEC team to support the ongoing Pikes Peak Ethnographic Resources and Traditional Use Study. The team will identify, and document ethnographic resources and places used by members of Tribal communities that have historical or cultural association with Pikes Peak. The team will build upon previously completed works (e.g., reports, studies, etc.) and will document traditional, historic, and on-going community use of, natural and/or cultural resources and places of cultural significance (i.e., specific locations, plant/mineral/animal species, specific cultural resource sites, etc.). The purpose of this project will be to document the specific uses of traditional resources associated Pikes Peak, but also to document the contemporary cultural basis for these uses.
