Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Since their first encounter with Europeans, Native Americans have seen their lands taken and their lives disrupted. Here, Grinde and Johansen (coauthors of Exemplar of Liberty: Native Americans and the Evolution of Democracy) describe the ecological consequences of those encounters. They examine native ecological practices before and during early colonization in the Southeast (Yamasees) and Southwest (Pueblos). Part two looks at recent environmental crises among Indians: fishing rights in the Northwest and Wisconsin; forced livestock reduction; coal and uranium mining on Navajo lands; severe pollution on a Mohawk reservation. The authors report on the plight of the James Bay Cree and the Lacondon Mayas in the Central American rain forest, and on radioactive waste dumping in Alaska. They call for reevaluation of current ecological practices and for acceptance of the Indian environmental ethic of living harmoniously with nature. The text, heavily laced with quotations and references, leans toward the academic. Illustrations.

Review
The environmental destruction of Indian lands is charted in a hard-hitting account tracing five hundred years of atrocities. From strip-mining and uranium mining to contamination of lands with toxic materials, this continues the ongoing saga of white exploitation of Indian communities, presenting a grim and revealing portrait of the politics involved on all sides. -- Midwest Book Review
