Book Description
Land is key to the operations of coloniality, but the power of the land is also the key anticolonial force that grounds Indigenous liberation. This work is an attempt to articulate the nature of land as a material, conceptual, and ontological foundation for Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and valuing. As a foundation of valuing, land forms the framework for a conceptualization of Indigenous environmental ethics as an anticolonial force for sovereign Indigenous futures. This text is an important contribution in the efforts to Indigenize Western philosophy, particularly in the context of settler colonialism in the United States. It breaks significant ground in articulating Indigenous ways of knowing and valuing to Western philosophy—not as artifact that Western philosophy can incorporate into its canon, but rather as a force of anticolonial Indigenous liberation. Ultimately, Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land shines light on a possible road for epistemically, ontologically, and morally sovereign Indigenous futures.

Book Description
In the Nature of Nature, I define "environmental ethics" in the tradition of Aldo Leopold's "land ethics:" They are the values that inform, influence, and in some cases, direct human relationships with other-than-human beings and the living earth. I argue that specific environmental ethics expressed in American literature from the first colonial settlements through the present have been central to the formation and character of the contemporary American environmental movement and the dominanat public policies and attitudes it has generated. The paradigmatic examples of American literature I explore demonstrate that their environmental ethics are formulated within a Western cultural paradigm that envisions nature as separate from culture and as a collection of resources for human exploitation in a market economy or as a space separated from people who can enjoy it but are never truly part of it. As a result of this philosophical and epistemological separation, I conclude that the American environmental movement and the policies it has generated, while they have to date prevented total destruction of the lands and waters that sustain human beings, have proven ineffective in both preventing and tackling huge environmental challenges like climate change and massive biodiversity decline. Using Arnold Krupat's formulation of ethnocriticism and interpretations of American Indian literatures, I find ruptures in the dominant environmental narratives of the works I explore that are open to the possibility of an alternative vision, one that more nearly aligns with American Indian environmental ethics, ethics I interpret as more centrally based on reciprocity and kinship among humans and the rest of the living earth. While I make every effort to avoid framing Indigenous ethics in an unrealistically utopian context, my literary explorations and analyses emphasize possibilities for engaging these ethics in rethinking dominant models for human relationships to the living earth that sustains us.

Book Description
From origin stories to contemporary struggles over treaty rights and sovereignty issues, Indian Nations of Wisconsin explores Wisconsin's rich Native tradition. This unique volume—based on the historical perspectives of the state’s Native peoples—includes compact tribal histories of the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oneida, Menominee, Mohican, Ho-Chunk, and Brothertown Indians. Author Patty Loew focuses on oral tradition—stories, songs, the recorded words of Indian treaty negotiators, and interviews—along with other untapped Native sources, such as tribal newspapers, to present a distinctly different view of history. Lavishly illustrated with maps and photographs, Indian Nations of Wisconsin is indispensable to anyone interested in the region's history and its Native peoples. The first edition of Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal, won the Wisconsin Library Association's 2002 Outstanding Book Award.

Book Description
Krech (anthropology, Brown U.) treats such provocative issues as whether the Eden in which Native Americans are viewed as living prior to European contact was a feature of native environmentalism or simply low population density; indigenous use of fire; and the Indian role in near-extinctions of buffalo, deer, and beaver. He concludes that early Indians' culturally-mediated closeness with nature was not always congruent with modern conservation ideas, with implications for views of, and by, contemporary Indians.

Book Description
In Defense of the Land Ethic: Essays in Environmental Philosophy brings into a single volume J. Baird Callicotts decade-long effort to articulate, defend, and extend the seminal environmental philosophy of Aldo Leopold. A leading voice in this new field, Callicott sounds the depths of the proverbial iceberg, the tip of which is The Land Ethic. The Land Ethic, Callicott argues, is traceable to the moral psychology of David Hume and Charles Darwins classical account of the origin and evolution of Humes moral sentiments. Leopold adds an ecological vision of organic nature to these foundations. How can an evolutionary and ecological environmental ethic bridge the gap between is and ought? How may wholesspecies, ecosystems, and the biosphere itselfbe the direct objects of moral concern? How may the intrinsic value of nonhuman natural entities and nature as a whole be justified? In addition to confronting and resolving these distinctly philosophical queries, Callicott engages in lively debate with proponents of animal liberation and rightsfinally to achieve an integrated theory of animal welfare and environmental ethics. He critically discusses the land ethic that is alleged to have prevailed among traditional American Indian peoples and points toward a new and equally revolutionary environmental aesthetic.
