        chiefdom without an agricultural base;
            (3) the Tequesta sites that remain preserved today are 
        rare;
            (4) the discovery of the Miami Circle, occupied by the 
        Tequesta approximately 2,000 years ago, presents a valuable new 
        opportunity to learn more about the Tequesta culture; and
            (5) Biscayne National Park also contains and protects 
        several prehistoric Tequesta sites.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to direct the Secretary 
to conduct a special resource study to determine the national 
significance of the Miami Circle site as well as the suitability and

    TITLE III--BAINBRIDGE ISLAND JAPANESE-AMERICAN MEMORIAL SPECIAL 
                             RESOURCE STUDY

SEC. 301. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) During World War II on February 19, 1942, President 
        Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, setting 
        in motion the forced exile of more than 110,000 Japanese 
        Americans.
            (2) In Washington State, 12,892 men, women and children of 
        Japanese ancestry experienced three years of incarceration, an 
        incarceration violating the most basic freedoms of American 
        citizens.
            (3) On March 30, 1942, 227 Bainbridge Island residents were 
        the first Japanese Americans in United States history to be 
        forcibly removed from their homes by the United States Army and 
        sent to internment camps. They boarded the ferry Kehloken from 
        the former Eagledale Ferry Dock, located at the end of Taylor 
        Avenue, in the city of Bainbridge Island, Washington State.
            (4) The city of Bainbridge Island has adopted a resolution 
        stating that this site should be a National Memorial, and 
        similar resolutions have been introduced in the Washington 
        State Legislature.
            (5) Both the Minidoka National Monument and Manzanar 
        National Historic Site can clearly tell the story of a time in 
        our Nation's history when constitutional rights were ignored. 
        These camps by design were placed in very remote places and are 
        not easily accessible. Bainbridge Island is a short ferry ride 
        from Seattle and the site would be within easy reach of many 
        more people.
            (6) This is a unique opportunity to create a site that will 
        honor those who suffered, cherish the friends and community who 
        stood beside them and welcomed them home, and inspire all to 
        stand firm in the event our Nation again succumbs to similar 
        fears.
            (7) The site should be recognized by the National Park 
        Service based on its high degree of national significance, 
        association with significant events, and integrity of its 
        location and setting. This site is critical as an anchor for 
        future efforts to identify, interpret, serve, and ultimately 
        honor the Nikkei--persons of Japanese ancestry--influence on 
        Bainbridge Island.

              REPORT.

Bainbridge Island, Kitsap County, Washington.
    (b) Report.--Not later than 3 years after funds are first made 
available for the study under subsection (a), the Secretary of the 
Interior shall submit to the Committee on Resources of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of 
the Senate a report describing the findings, conclusions, and 
recommendations of the study.
    (c) Requirements for Study.--Except as otherwise provided in this

               TITLE VIII--COLTSVILLE NATIONAL PARK STUDY

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Coltsville Study Act of 2002''.

SEC. 802. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) Hartford, Connecticut, home to Colt Manufacturing 
        Company (referred to in this title as ``Colt''), played a major 
        role in the Industrial Revolution;
            (2) Samuel Colt, founder of Colt, and his wife, Elizabeth 
        Colt, inspired Coltsville, a community in the State of 
        Connecticut that flourished during the Industrial Revolution 
        and included Victorian mansions, an open green area, botanical 
        gardens, and a deer park;
            (3) the residence of Samuel and Elizabeth Colt in Hartford, 
        Connecticut, known as ``Armsmear'', is a national historic 
        landmark, and the distinctive Colt factory is a prominent 
        feature of the Hartford, Connecticut, skyline;
            (4) the Colt legacy is not only about firearms, but also 
        about industrial innovation and the development of technology 
        that would change the way of life in the United States, 
        including--
                    (A) the development of telegraph technology; and
                    (B) advancements in jet engine technology by 
                Francis Pratt and Amos Whitney, who served as 
                apprentices at Colt;
            (5) the influence of Colt extended beyond the United States 
        when Samuel Colt was the first resident of the United States to 
        open a manufacturing plant overseas;
            (6) Coltsville--
                    (A) set the standard for excellence during the 
                Industrial Revolution; and
                    (B) continues to prove significant--
                            (i) as a place in which people of the 
                        United States can learn about that important 
                        period in history; and
                            (ii) by reason of the close proximity of 
                        Coltsville to the Mark Twain House, Trinity

               TITLE XI--PEOPLING OF AMERICA THEME STUDY

SEC. 1101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Peopling of America Theme Study 
Act''.

SEC. 1102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) an important facet of the history of the United States 
        is the story of how the United States was populated;
            (2) the migration, immigration, and settlement of the 
        population of the United States--
                    (A) is broadly termed the ``peopling of America''; 
                and
                    (B) is characterized by--
                            (i) the movement of groups of people across 
                        external and internal boundaries of the United 
                        States and territories of the United States; 
                        and
                            (ii) the interactions of those groups with 
                        each other and with other populations;
            (3) each of those groups has made unique, important 
        contributions to American history, culture, art, and life;
            (4) the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, political, and 
        economic vitality of the United States is a result of the 
        pluralism and diversity of the American population;
            (5) the success of the United States in embracing and 
        accommodating diversity has strengthened the national fabric 
        and unified the United States in its values, institutions, 
        experiences, goals, and accomplishments;
            (6)(A) the National Park Service's official thematic 
        framework, revised in 1996, responds to the requirement of 
        section 1209 of the Civil War Sites Study Act of 1990 (16 
        U.S.C. 1a-5 note; title XII of Public Law 101-628), that ``the 
        Secretary shall ensure that the full diversity of American 
        history and prehistory are represented'' in the identification 
        and interpretation of historic properties by the National Park 
        Service; and
            (B) the thematic framework recognizes that ``people are the 
        primary agents of change'' and establishes the theme of human 
        population movement and change--or ``peopling places''--as a 
        primary thematic category for interpretation and preservation; 
        and
            (7) although there are approximately 70,000 listings on the 
        National Register of Historic Places, sites associated with the 
        exploration and settlement of the United States by a broad 
        range of cultures are not well represented.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to foster a much-needed understanding of the diversity 
        and contribution of the breadth of groups who have peopled the 
        United States; and
            (2) to strengthen the ability of the National Park Service 
        to include groups and events otherwise not recognized in the 
        peopling of the United States.
