Archeology - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

identify historic shipwrecks and nominate significant sites to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Almost 1,000 
	historic shipwrecks have been identified across New York and are included in a statewide database, which was established to record 
	critical information about these sites. Furthermore, the SHPO routinely reviews state and federally funded dredging, pipeline, cable 
	laying, and other underwater projects to determine if significant archeological sites are likely to be impacted and, when appropriate, 
	to develop appropriate avoidance or mitigation measures. The SHPO also cooperates with regional organizations and other state 
	agencies to create Submerged Heritage Preserves, such as the underwater site of the 1868 steamer CHAMPLAIN II near Westport 
	in Lake Champlain. These preserves offer recreational diving opportunities while assisting in the preservation and interpretation of 
	these sites.
Stewardship of Archeological Resources
In considering the preservation of archeological resources, it is important to understand the delicate, nonrenewable nature of 
	archeological sites and associated materials. While some sites may reveal beautiful artifacts or fascinating ruins, the fundamental 
	value of archeology lies in the information that sites and artifacts offer about the way humans have lived in the past. Once 
	archeological material has been removed from the ground, whether through excavation or as a result of looting, development, 
	erosion, or other processes, the site is destroyed forever. When investigations are conducted properly, the information from the 
	site is preserved through collections, records, and reports that are used to analyze and interpret the past. When sites are 
	excavated improperly, information is lost and the value of the archeological deposits is greatly diminished. Through its programs 
	and services, the SHPO hopes to promote the responsible stewardship of archeological resources in order to help preserve these 
	valuable but fragile pieces of human history.
Some of the hallmarks of responsible archeological stewardship include thorough research and scientific methods, 
	well-organized information collection and analysis, and public education and site interpretation. Professional archeologists are some 
	of the most important stewards of New York's archeological heritage; however, members of the general public can also be effective 
	stewards. For example, landowners who have archeological sites on their properties are encouraged to preserve and protect them
Cultural Resource Management | CAL FIRE
This is accomplished through regulations, policies and procedures requiring cultural resource surveys of project areas, evaluation of potential impacts, and the incorporation of protection measures before project approval. This program provides cultural resource surveys, technical assistance, project review, and training to CAL FIRE staff and other resource professionals. The legal mandates that require CAL FIRE to protect archaeological, historical and tribal cultural resources are found in the California Environmental Quality Act, the Forest Practice Rules, California Executive Order W-26-92, and the California Register of Historic Resources.

 Introduction to CAL FIRE's Native American Contact List 
 

September 7, 2023
 
General Information
CAL FIRE, in consultation with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and members of California’s Tribal communities, has developed a Native American Contact List (NACL) to identify the appropriate Native American tribes and individuals to be contacted during the development and review of Timber Harvesting Plans (THPs) and other types of CAL FIRE Projects. 
List Users
This list is available to Certified Cultural Resources Surveyors and CAL FIRE staff to initiate consultation procedures specified in California Forest Practice Rules (CFPRs) (14 CCR Sections 895.1, 929, 949, 969), state law (CEQA, PRC Section 21104), regulation (14 CCR Section 15064.5) and CAL FIRE policy (Native American Tribal Communities and Relations 5000) and procedure (Cultural Resource Review Procedures for CAL FIRE Projects). 
Use of the NACL
This list is to be used to initiate engagement and consultation with Native Americans regarding planned projects under the above-referenced laws (see CFPRs and Procedures for process and requirements). The goal of engagement is to ensure that Native perspectives and concerns are incorporated into project planning.

Informe: El 97% de las Frutas y Verduras Analizadas en California No Contienen Residuos Ilegales de Pesticidas
Las muestras incluyen productos importados y cultivados en el paÃ­s, tanto orgÃ¡nicos como convencionales. Cuando se encuentran detecciones ilegales, el departamento rastrea de quÃ© tienda, distribuidor y agricultor provienen los productos. Los productos con detecciones ilegales se ponen en cuarentena y pueden destruirse para evitar que se sigan distribuyendo productos contaminados.
Las muestras son analizadas por cientÃ­ficos de los laboratorios del Departamento de Alimentos y Agricultura de California y sometidas a pruebas para detectar 500 tipos de pesticidas y compuestos relacionados. Las pruebas se realizan en productos sin lavar ni pelar. Es ilegal vender productos con cantidades de residuos superiores a los lÃ­mites establecidos por la Agencia de ProtecciÃ³n Ambiental de Estados Unidos. Estos lÃ­mites se denominan "tolerancias" y se establecen para pesticidas especÃ­ficos que se encuentran en cultivos especÃ­ficos. 
Los infractores pueden enfrentarse a multas u otras sanciones. En un caso, los resultados hallados gracias a la supervisiÃ³n del DPR dieron lugar a una multa de $10,000 impuesta por la Oficina del Comisionado AgrÃ­cola del condado de Kern por el uso ilegal de mÃºltiples pesticidas en fresas.
Al recoger muestras de productos se hace especial Ã©nfasis en los tipos de productos que consumen habitualmente los niÃ±os.

LGBTQ Val-Kill - Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)
Today, a broader, more rich understanding of Val-Kill’s significance and meaning has benefited from LGBTQ scholarship and biographies published over the past twenty-five years.
LGBTQ people are defined almost exclusively by their sexuality and gender expression usually marked by others as deviant behavior. Thus, historians tended to obscure this aspect of famous LGBTQ lives. But to ignore it, is in effect rewriting history by leaving out important aspects of their lives. Why should we care to know anything about Eleanor Roosevelt’s intimate life? Eleanor tells us herself, in a letter she wrote to Gurewitsch in 1948:
The people I love mean more to me than all the public things even if you do think that public affairs should be my chief vocation. I only do the public things because I really love all people, and I only love all people because there are a few people whom I love dearly and who matter to me above everything else. These are not so many, and of them, you are now one.
If we want to understand Eleanor Roosevelt, we cannot separate her public life from her intimate life. The opportunity to “love dearly” sustained the life of a compassionate humanitarian. In this way, Eleanor Roosevelt’s true legacy is really the freedom she gave herself to love.
*The LGBTQ acronym has multiple forms. The Q generally stands for queer or questioning. Sometimes A (asexual), I (intersex), and + is added in recognition of all non-straight, non-cisgender identitites.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Due in part to these policies, Native American families disproportionately continue to experience risk factors for child maltreatment such as isolation from family and community. While the federal and state governments have taken steps to address these discriminatory policies, they continue to impact Native American communities in California. The box below describes these federal and state steps to protect and strengthen Native American children’s connections to their tribes.

Child Welfare Policy Toward Native American Tribes
Historical federal policies overtly sought to displace and assimilate tribal communities. The child welfare system was used as a policy tool to this end: through Indian boarding schools and later the Indian adoptions project, federal government policy was to remove children from their homes, tribes, languages, and culture and place them into white, English‑speaking settings. Specifically, studies have found that 25 percent to 35 percent of all tribal children were being removed from their parents and communities through these policies, and of those removed, 85 percent were placed outside of their families and communities—even in cases when relative or other tribal placements were available. Research has found these policies contributed to intergenerational trauma, disproportionate exposure to risk factors for child maltreatment within Native American communities, and persistent child welfare system overrepresentation. 
In response to Congressional testimony detailing the impacts of these policies, the federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was enacted in 1978 and seeks to preserve cultural connections for tribal children involved with the child welfare system. 
Since 2006, the California Legislature has passed a series of state laws which incorporate (and expand upon) ICWA’s protections for tribal communities within the child welfare context. The Department of Social Services (DSS) continues to work toward fully updating child welfare guidance and regulations in line with these state laws as well as the federal ICWA. As a recent example, since May 2023, DSS has been issuing a series of letters to county welfare directors with guidance around implementing specific requirements for partnering and collaborating with tribes in child welfare cases subject to ICWA.
Survey - NYS Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation

A survey provides the means by which we identify and document historic resources 
 and evaluate their significance.
Surveys provide an inventory of the built environment by systematically documenting historic properties by geographic 
 location (e.g., entire village, rural landscape or specific neighborhood) or theme (e.g., historic schools of NYS or 
 properties associated with the Underground Railroad). They are tailored to fit the needs and goals of a project.
Why conduct a survey?
Surveys are fundamental to sound preservation planning. By defining the location and importance of historic resources, a 
 survey enables planners to make decisions about which properties ought to be protected and how to incorporate preservation 
 goals into community planning efforts. Surveys achieve the following objectives:

establish priorities for preservation projects;
identify historic properties that may benefit from National Register listing (which can qualify properties for certain tax credit and grant programs) and/or local designation;
create a body of background information for project and land-use planning;
help meet specific environmental review requirements (Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980);
increase public awareness and appreciation for properties that reflect local, state and national history, and
gather information for educational and promotional purposes.

The Survey Process
The essential first step in the survey process is defining the geographic or thematic area of the survey. The process 
 includes planning, research, fieldwork, data collection and organization, evaluation, and reporting.
Historic resources surveys fall into two general types: reconnaissance-level surveys and intensive-level surveys. A 
 reconnaissance-level survey is a first step in the survey process that identifies those areas and properties worthy of 
 further study. Reconnaissance surveys establish broad historic and architectural contexts necessary in understanding an 
 area's past. Because reconnaissance-level surveys do not typically include detailed information on each property, they 
 generally do not provide sufficient information for making informed evaluations of historic or architectural significance. 
 Intensive-level surveys include historical research on the surveyed properties that provides the information needed for 
 determining which properties (both individual properties and historic districts) are eligible for historic designations.
