Title: Biodiversity & Native America

Author:
Paul E. Minnis and Wayne J. Elisens eds.

Description:
This book questions the widespread view that indigenous peoples had minimal ecological impact in North America. The expert contributors show that Native Americans were active managers of natural ecological systems. It covers the topics of restoration, management, and conservation models through a thorough knowledge of native peoples' ecological history and dynamics. The writings illustrate how indigenous peoples affected environmental patterns and processes, improving crop diversity and agricultural patterns.
