Title: save your time
Review: As other reviewers have pointed out, this book is written with a prominent agenda - debunking the myth of an ecologically friendly, noble native. Unfortunately, the author uses white stereotypes to make his case rather than presenting firm evidence to support his claims. There can be little doubt that native peoples had an effect on their environment. However, to suggest as the author does, that it was on a scale equal to that of euro settlers is just plain stupidity. Native peoples didn't practice ecological principles, they were too busy trying to survive off the land that gave them everything. Because of that, they were truly connected to the land; something no non-native can possibly claim.
