American Indians and National Forests tells the tale of how the U.S. Forest Service and tribal nations dealt with sweeping changes in forest use, ownership, and management over the past century and a half. Indians and U.S. foresters came together over a shared conservation ethic on many cooperative endeavors; yet, they ceaselessly clashed over how the nation’s forests must be valued and cared for on matters starting from huckleberry picking and vision quests to road building and recreation development.

Marginalized in American society and long denied a seat at the table of public land stewardship, American Indian tribes have at last taken their rightful place and are making themselves heard. Weighing indigenous perspectives at the environment is an emerging trend in public land management in america and all over the world. The Forest Service has been a strong partner in that movement during the last quarter century.
