Native American scholar Daniel Wildcat (Yuchi/Muscogee) has published a thoughtful, forward-looking treatise that serves as a Native response to the environmental crisis facing our planet. The book seeks to debunk the modern myths that humankind is the center of creation and that it exerts control over the natural world. Taking a hard look at the biggest problem that we face today – the damaging way we live on this earth – Wildcat draws upon ancient Native American wisdom and nature-centered beliefs to advocate a modern strategy to combat global warming.
