Gladesmen Ethnographic Study

The Corps of Engineers thanks everyone who provided comments on the draft study “You Just Can’t Live Without It” Ethnographic Study and Evaluation of Traditional Cultural Properties of the Gladesmen Culture. The public comment period is closed.

The Corps is reviewing the comments and the contractor’s recommendations in the report. At this time the Corps has made no determination about the existence of Traditional Cultural Properties as defined by the National Register of Historic Places criteria.

This study was conducted because during public meetings for the CERP Master Recreation Plan, the Corps received comments that there were “traditional cultural properties” associated with the Gladesmen culture that may be affected by CERP. Traditional Cultural Properties are historic sites that maintain a continued (at least 50 years) association with living cultures. In order to insure compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act the Corps commissioned the ethnographic study of the self identified Gladesmen culture to determine if such traditional cultural properties that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places exist within the CERP project area.
