Book excerpt: Excerpt from Final Special Resource Study, Environmental Assessment: Bear River Massacre Site, Idaho The purpose of this study is to provide the United States Congress with a professional analysis of whether the nationally significant resources of the Bear River massacre site in Idaho are suitable and feasible to be added to the national park system (the site was designated a national historic landmark in and to examine viable alternatives for the protection and public use of the site. One of the responsibilities of the National Park Service is to identify nationally significant natural, cultural, and recreational resources and assist in their preservation both inside and outside the national park system. The areas managed by the National Park Service are only one part of a national inventory of special and protected areas managed by innumerable federal, state, and local agencies and the private sector. Consequently, addition to the national park system is only one of several alternatives for ensuring the preservation of significant national resources for public enjoyment and benefit. Five alternative approaches are presented in the study for consideration. The no-action alternative retains the present situation at the massacre site. No further boundary designations would be proposed other than the current national historic landmark status. No protection of the massacre field or public access to the site would be established under this alternative other than those voluntarily provided by individual private landowners.
