We are the middle of forever : Indigenous voices from Turtle Island on the changing Earth / edited by Dahr Jamail and Stan Rushworth.

Jamail, Dahr, (editor.). Rushworth, Stan, 1945- (editor.).

Summary:

For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction. Their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation. The essays in this book place Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today's environmental crisis. People from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. -- adapted from jacket
