Specifically, the cooperator will: The Cooperator will: ╔ The Cooperator will: ╔ Present a summary discussion of the peopling of Paterson from the time of Native American occupation until the end of the industrial era (which for the purposes of this study is considered to be the end of World War II); ╔ Develop an anthropological discussion of the settlement patterns, socioeconomic adaptations and cultural patterns and behaviors of the large number of ethnic populations that have made, and continue to make, Paterson their home; ╔ Identify the contemporary groups that are traditionally associated with the park or park resources and the types and uses of park resources by or within these groups, and, ╔ Identify additional ethnographic research needs and to provide recommendations for engaging park-associated groups in the planning and operation of the park. ╔ Use anthropological theories and methods to expand existing knowledge of community formations in Paterson and will describe social and cultural transformation resulting from settlement in the city from the perspective of knowledgeable representatives of various ethnicities in Paterson, New Jersey. ╔ Provide an overview of resource types and uses of park resources among contemporary communities. The study will take a grounded approach that incorporates their narratives about migration, settlement, and community formation to tease out salient themes and events that inform their social experience, and to situate them within the larger socioeconomic and political framework of the region and the nation in the late twentieth century and into the present. ╔ Combine archival research with limited ethnographic interviewing of knowledgeable community consultants.
