Abstract
Building on a range of issues presented initially in The Ecological Indian: Myth and History, and debated subsequently in reviews and various papers, this article ranges widely in time to address traditional environmental knowledge, oral history, conservation and sustainability, and environmentalism in Indian Country. I also offer thoughts on the involvement of Native people in large-scale development, as well as comanagement schemes today and in the future.
