Often when Native nations assert their treaty rights and
sovereignty, they are confronted with a backlash from their
neighbors, who are fearful of losing control of the natural
resources. Yet, when both groups are faced with an outside threat
to their common environment-such as mines, dams, or an oil
pipeline-these communities have unexpectedly joined together to
protect the resources. Some regions of the United States with the
most intense conflicts were transformed into areas with the deepest
cooperation between tribes and local farmers, ranchers, and fishers
to defend sacred land and water. Unlikely Alliances explores this
evolution from conflict to cooperation through place-based case
studies in the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, Northern Plains, and
Great Lakes regions during the 1970s through the 2010s. These case
studies suggest that a deep love of place can begin to overcome
even the bitterest divides.
