An important contribution to evolving studies on conservation of sacred natural sites (SNS), the book elucidates the complexity of development scenarios within cultural landscapes related to the appropriation of religion, environmental change in indigenous territories, and new conservation management approaches. Indigeneity and the Sacred explores how these struggles for land, rights, and political power are embedded within physical landscapes, and how indigenous identity is reconstituted as globalizing forces simultaneously threaten and promote the notion of indigeneity Analysis amazon america andes mountains anthropologist anthropology archaeology biocultural catholicism cherokee conservation cultural demographics ecuador environment fausto sarmiento geography good life identity indigenous people land mexico mountains national park natives natural world north america policy political power protection research revival sacred sarah hitchner scholarly south america united states Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (JSTOR, viewed on July 07, 2017) Subject Indigenous peoples -- America.
