In Effigy

In 1999, Phyllis Ewing became superintendent. By the end of Ewing’s tenure, the park had carried out 78 construction projects, some of them damaging mounds and all of them damaging archeological resources. NHPA compliance was not carried out on any of the projects. Ewing designated her chief of maintenance Section 106 coordinator, re-shuffling and marginalizing cultural resource specialists. The maintenance staff went from 4 to 20+, while the park did not have a cultural resources program.
