Stewards of the Human Landscape
Common Ground, Spring 2001
"Ethnography adds dimension to places ordinarily seen as having fixed, objectively defined boundaries, places categorized as archeological sites, historic structures, or cultural landscapes. Other characteristics emerge from the perspectives of people whose ethnic history and identity are traditionally associated with these resources and whose cultural survival depends…on their continued use. The articles in this issue give a range of examples; others are baptismal sites, the churches at San Antonio Missions, the Sweet Auburn community of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Ellis Island buildings memorialized in myths about cultural passages from the old world to the new. We call them 'ethnographic resources.'"

Speaking Nation to Nation
Common Ground, Summer/Fall 1997, vol. 2 (3/4)
Many laws have required consultation as part of resource management, but few have defined it. "The common meaning is to ask advice of someone. …These individuals are not selected randomly…. Each is in a position to inform the decision.
Consultation has as much to do with obtaining information as providing it. …Consultation is always a dialogue. The information obtained is given special, though not necessarily disposive, consideration."
