Defending Mother Earth brings together important Native voices to
address urgent issues of environmental devastation as they affect
the indigenous peoples throughout the Americas. The essays document
a range of ecological disasters, including the devastating effects
of mining, water pollution, nuclear power facilities, and toxic
waste dumps. In an expression of "environmental racism", such
hazards are commonly located on or near Indian lands. Many of the
authors included in Defending Mother Earth are engaged in struggles
to resist these dangers. As their essays consistently demonstrate,
these struggles are intimately tied to the assertion of Indian
sovereignty and the affirmation of Native culture: the Earth is,
indeed, Mother to these nations. In his concluding theological
reflection, George Tinker argues that the affirmation of Indian
spiritual values, especially the attitude toward the Earth, may
hold out a key to the survival of the planet and all its peoples.
