Media Reviews

Middleton illuminates a new and exciting avenue for advancing tribal sovereignty and environmental justice in Indian country. --Studies in American Indian Literatures
Beth Middleton's Trust in the Land is a well-researched, well-written book which offers an important analysis of private conservation tools as a way for indigenous peoples to reacquire ownership of their traditional lands and, perhaps more importantly, re-establish a relationship with these lands by reasserting their rights of stewardship as the land's original inhabitants. --AlterNative
