Concept information
Preferred term
environment and Native Americans
Definition
- Environmental issues are a central concern for Native North American peoples in several different ways that intertwine with what some have called a history of colonialist racism and genocide. These include the dispossession of land, the degradation of indigenous space, and the marginalization of Native American lifeways, which, it has been argued, are more sustainable than those of modern industrial and expansionist nation-states.
