• Today, few scholars would question the importance of "landscape" as an integrating concept in understanding cultural traditions. Landscape approaches have been applied for several decades in European and North American scholarship. In American anthropology, landscape theory has been influenced strongly by Julian Steward's concept of cultural ecology and more recently by increasingly integrative approaches combining environmental studies, ecology, history, and anthropology. More recent movements toward understanding ethnographic landscapes are being fostered by growing collaboration between scientists and native partners in studies of climate and environmental change, natural resource distribution, subsistence practices, and many other topics having a geographic component. The extension of such studies into historical periods and the deep past and growth in scientific knowledge of paleoenvironments and effects of climate change expand these frontiers still further. Native American groups, especially in North America, are playing an important role in advocating that these concepts of cultural and ethnographic landscape be included into government programs and management policies. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to discover a government agency building such an idea into its management policy. Unlike other nations that have recognized the importance of culture (admittedly, often a "national" culture, not always "cultures"), the United States has not had a distinguished record of heritage preservation in general or of cultural preservation in particular. Such themes have generally been relegated to museums, scholars, and private interest groups rather than governments. Therefore, I was delighted when Ted Birkedal of the Alaska Office of the National Park Service (NPS) expressed interest in having the Arctic Studies Center collaborate with the NPS to conduct a study of how the concept "ethnographic landscapes" was being utilized in scientific literature and government policy in the circumpolar region.The Arctic Studies Center was familiar with how park systems operate among many arctic nations and was actively conducting research and educational program throughout this region. As the editors explain in their introduction, the initial idea was to provide a state-of-the-art overview that could be used by the NPS in their policy formation process. While it took us several years to design the study and identify partners, this publication represents the perspectives of specialists involved in key organizations and projects. The result is, of course, only a sampling of thought and practice as applied to the arctic and subarctic region.
