Description

Frequently when Native nations assert their treaty rights and sovereignty, they’re confronted with a backlash from their neighbors, who are fearful of losing keep watch over of the natural resources. Yet, when both groups are faced with an outdoor threat to their common environment―such as mines, dams, or an oil pipeline―these communities have hastily joined together to give protection to the resources. Some regions of the USA with essentially the most intense conflicts were transformed into areas with the deepest cooperation between tribes and local farmers, ranchers, and fishers to defend sacred land and water.

Unlikely Alliances explores this evolution from conflict to cooperation through place-based case studies in the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, Northern Plains, and Great Lakes regions all over the 1970s through the 2010s. These case studies suggest that a deep love of place can begin to conquer even the bitterest divides.
