Building on a range of issues presented initially in The Ecological Indian: Myth and History , and debated subsequently in reviews and various papers, this article ranges widely in time to address traditional environmental knowledge, oral history, conservation and sustainability, and environmentalism in Indian Country. I also offer thoughts on the involvement of Native people in large‐scale development, as well as comanagement schemes today and in the future.
