  • Conflicting Images of Land, People, and Nature of Native Americans and Euro-Americans Robert H
    This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is My Land: Conflicting Images of Land, People, and Nature of Native Americans and Euro-Americans Robert H. Craig Abstract This paper explores varying dimensions of an enduring conflict between people of European origin and indigenous communities over land and land related issues. This means not only wrestling with differing understandings of land and natural world, especially as a visual landscape, but what we might learn from indigenous people that can lead to the creation of a common future that enhances both human and nonhuman life. Illustrative of some of the issues at the heart of white-Indian misunderstanding is a case-study of the conflict between Euro-Americans and the Lakota people over the Black Hills of South Dakota. The closing section of this paper concludes with an examination of the work of Wendell Berry and the myriad ways he can facilitate a needed dialogue between whites and Indians. 1. Introduction The title of this paper comes from a familiar American song composed by Woody Guthrie. The ballad was the theme song for George McGovern’s ill-fated 1972 presidential campaign and has been popularized by everyone from Pete Seeger and Peter, Paul, and Mary to United Airlines and the Ford Motor Company (Klein 1980:433). For many people this song is a romantic celebration of America that is embodied in refrains such as “from California to the New York Island, from the Redwood Forests, to the Gulf Stream waters, this land was made for you and me.” (Woody Guthrie Pages: 1).

  • This Land Is Your Land © Jake Schlapfer a Mission to Preserve You Have Inherited Vast Treasures
    This Land Is Your Land © Jake Schlapfer A Mission to Preserve You have inherited vast treasures. Some of these are close at hand, and others are located at the far corners of the country. These treasures are a link to your past and a legacy to leave for the future. Every fellow citizen shares them. These treasures are your national parks—all 392 sites. They are gifts from earlier generations, set aside not for a privileged few, but for all Americans to enjoy. These varied lands hold stories that tell the tale of our nation’s development and how we have evolved. Our national parks are part of a legacy that you, too, will pass on to future generations. Two groups are among those that can help you do this: the National Park Service and the National Parks Conservation Association. The National Park Service (NPS) www.nps.gov is a government agency established in 1916 that operates under the Department of the Interior. Its purpose is to protect and preserve our National Park System. The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) www.npca.org is an independent voice outside of government. Established in 1919, NPCA works to protect and enhance America’s national parks for current and future generations. Melissa Blair, NPCA Alaska Field Representative, with a wild silver salmon. Kenai Fjords National Park. As you can see, the two organizations have similar missions. “The mission of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) is to conserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife in the United States’ national parks, and to provide for the public’s enjoyment of these features in a manner that will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Ponder the Parks: National Parks Conservation Association’s (NPCA) mission is “To protect and enhance America’s National Park System 1.

  • Ii WOODY GUTHRIE
    ii WOODY GUTHRIE THIS COLLECTION PRESENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME the full range of material Woody Guthrie recorded for the United States government, both in song and the spoken word. This publication brings together two significant bodies of work – the songs and stories he recorded for the Library of Congress, and the material he created when hired to write songs for the Bonneville Power Administration. There have been records released in the past of the Library of Congress recordings, but this collection is the first time that the complete and unedited Library of Congress sessions have been released. The songs from those recording dates have been available in the past – notably from Elektra and from Rounder – but we offer here the full body of work, including the hours of Woody Guthrie talking and telling his story. TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND BPA RECORDINGS, we have also added material which Woody recorded for governmental or quasi-governmental efforts – some songs and two 15-minute radio dramas for the Office of War Information during the Second World War and another drama offered to public health agencies to fight the spread of venereal disease.

  • Why and How the Department of the Interior Should Give Greater Consideration to the Gray Wolf’S Historical Range
    05 COLLIER REVISED SECOND PROOFS (DO NOT DELETE) 11/8/2018 3:14 PM “This Land Was Made for You and Me”*—And Them: Why and How the Department of the Interior Should Give Greater Consideration to the Gray Wolf’s Historical Range Amy Collier** Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the gray wolf was systematically eradicated from most of the lower forty-eight states. A population of hundreds of thousands was whittled down to a few hundred, concentrated only in the woods of Minnesota and Isle Royale, Michigan. The wolf has rebounded, thanks to robust federal protection. But full recovery remains elusive—in part because of the federal government’s narrow expectations for recovery. In August 2017, the D.C. Circuit struck down a 2011 rule that removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list in the Western Great Lakes area. The court held that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had impermissibly failed to consider how the loss of the gray wolf’s historical range affected the species’ overall survival outlook. This decision highlighted some long-recognized shortcomings of the Service’s interpretation of recovery under the Endangered Species Act, including its concentration on core populations to the detriment of peripheral ones. Focusing on the complex history of the gray wolf, this Note explores traditional justifications for species preservation, as well as justifications for a broader geographic recovery of a species. In doing so, it identifies a repertoire of principles that should inform future decisions about a species’ geographic restoration, and by reflecting on these principles, it argues for a more purposeful consideration of a species’ historical range.
