Shane V. Smith May 2005 Journal of Geoscience Education v53 n3 p294
This paper, published by the Journal of Geoscience Education, provides examples for creating and implementing geoscience interpretive programs at historical parks. The paper discusses two interpretive programs at Nez Perce National Historical Park that are based on the importance of geomorphic features and earth materials in Nez Perce history and culture. Positive feedback from Nez Perce Tribal members, visitors and staff demonstrates that it is possible to combine geoscience and cultural history to create programs that interest the public.
