They offer new paradigms for viewing ecological shifts, and negotiating the relationship between lawmakers, environmental scientists, and tribes indigenous to the United States. It also offers new and useful vocabulary for future researchers and policy makers … . this book will undoubtedly support and inspire further research.” (Rose Sayre, Natural Hazards Observer, Vol. XXXIX (3), January, 2015)
