GEOG 090 - Native Americans, Land and Natural Resources

orporations and federal and state governments, and to repair damage done to ecological systems. We will examine the history of Native Americans; the appropriation of their lands; corporate natural resource development impacts; contested concepts of “development” and “progress”; and new approaches to resource management including salmon restoration, buffalo management, and wolf reintroduction. These cases will be complemented with others from those places now called Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ecuador to gain an understanding of how indigenous peoples deal with and resist resource development efforts on and near their lands. Periodically offered as a first-year seminar as GEOG 090. Fulfills the Global Perspective requirement.
