INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
National Parks Conservation Association
Summer Internship Opportunity
Project: Investigating Native American Expectations of the National Park System
The National Parks Conservation Association is America's only private, non-profit advocacy
organization dedicated solely to protecting and enhancing America's National Park System for present and future
generations. An association with nearly 400,000 members, NPCA focuses on protecting park resources through long
range policy initiatives, legislative and legal actions, working with local park managers and constituents, and
grassroots organizing.
Based in Washington, DC, NPCA also has eight regional offices across the nation. DC
staff includes the organization's counsel, legislative affairs office, grassroots and cultural diversity outreach
centers, long-range policy department, as well as its administrative offices. NPCA's regional offices serve as
centers for field intelligence, as the primary point of contact between professional land managers and NPCA staff,
and as key players in developing and executing national park policy.
NPCA has recently begun working on a variety of new, long-range policy initiatives. Each of these projects deals
with an issue that is of great significance to the organization and that is essential for the success of the National
Park System. These initiatives include: protecting biodiversity, ensuring a quality visitor experience, working
with cultural communities who have historically been underrepresented in park visitation and interpretation and
among visitors and staff, enhancing protection for marine resources, and ensuring that the parks receive the funding
necessary for them to fulfill their mission to preserve our cultural, historic, and natural heritage while providing
appropriate and meaningful access to the same.
Internship Location: Washington, DC with potential for limited travel.
Proposed Project: This project will investigate aspects of the expectations and interaction of Native Americans
and the National Park System as part of NPCA's Enhancing Diversity program.
The Enhancing Diversity is designed to ensure that the National Park System represents, welcomes, and is protected
by a culturally and racially diverse constituency. America's National Parks are in more danger today than any other
time in our history. To adequately protect the parks in the future we need strong support representing the full
spectrum of the American public. However, because many of America's diverse peoples do not view the parks as relevant
or accessible to them, they do not see themselves as stakeholders responsible for the long-term protection of these
places. As the demographics of America continue to shift, this disconnect can become a critical threat to the long-term
survival of our national treasures. By building a strong multicultural network of National Park supporters, NPCA's
mission of protecting and enhancing parks for future generations can become a mission embraced by all.
Native Americans have had strong ties to lands now designated within the National Park
System-in most cases ties deeply rooted in tradition and pre-dating the NPS and the rest of the nation. Uses of
park system units for traditional purposes, such as Hopi petitions to gather eaglets at Wupatki, and outright land
claims, including those of the Timbisha at Death Valley and the Miccosukee at Big Cypress express some of these
ties. NPCA has adopted a policy acknowledging Indian interests in the context of preserving the parks "unimpaired
for the enjoyment of future generations." NPCA has addressed many Native American interests, but had not attempted
to fully understand their scope or depth. This project will help NPCA staff better understand the extent of Native
American interests in the National Park System and develop the foundations for better communications and understanding
between Indian people and NPCA staff and board.
Qualifications: Prospective interns must be college seniors or graduate students with substantive experience and/or
education Native American sovereignty, land use, lifeways, and relations with U.S government agencies and must
possess good research, writing and speaking skills. Familiarity with database construction a plus but not necessary.
Internship Details: Interns are paid $400 per week. Internships last between 10 and
14 weeks depending on the intern's availability (12-14 weeks is preferable). The internship period begins in late
June and runs through late August. Interns are responsible for their own transportation and living accommodations.
Interns work 35 hours per week (9-5 Monday through Friday with a one-hour lunch) and are not eligible for benefits.
Contact Information: Interested students should send an application to Scott Edwards, Program Manager, NPCA, 1300
19th street, N.W., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036. Please include a cover letter, résumé, short
writing sample, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of at least two references. Most interviews will
be conducted by telephone. Applications may also be faxed: (202) 659-8183 or sent via e-mail: sedwards@npca.org.
The application deadline is May 14th. Direct additional questions to Scott Edwards at: (202) 454-3349.
