Indians & Energy focuses on the American Southwest because it
is particularly well suited for exploring how people have
transformed the region's resources into fuel supplies for human
consumption. Not only do Native Americans possess a large
percentage of the Southwest's total acreage, but on their lands
reside much of the nation's coal, oil, and uranium resources.
Regional weather and climate patterns have enabled native people to
take advantage of solar and wind power as sources of energy. But
issues related to energy and Indians transcend the region-and the
nation. The contributors believe the lessons of the Southwest
illuminate broader trends in other places. Their intent is not to
end, but to join the conversation, and encourage others to do the
same. This volume is the result of a symposium that was a
cooperative venture between the William P. Clements Center for
Southwest Studies and the School for Advanced Research in
2007-2008.
