discuss similarities in the American Indian view of nature. In many of the American Indian selections we have read‚ the idea that humans have an interdependent and intimate relationship with nature is a prominent theme. In “The Song of the Sky Loom‚” a tribal song from the Tewa people‚ they refer to nature as “Mother the Earth‚” and “Father the Sky.” (p. 16 line 1) By stating these titles in the first line of this poem‚ it can be inferred that nature comes first in the Tewa’s lives.

PRESERVING NATURE VS. RESHAPING NATURE Critical analysis of recent floods in Uttarakhand ______________________________________________________________________________ “The environmentalist goal of ‘preserving nature’ unavoidably conflicts with the requirements of human life: Man ’s basic means of survival is to reshape nature to serve his ends‚ to take the raw materials of his environment and use them to produce values.
