Provides a glimpse of how Native Americans interacted with the environment before the arrival of Europeans
Stacy Kowtko is assistant professor of history at Spokane Community College. She teaches Interdisciplinary Studies classes and American History classes. Her current research involves the history and culture of tourism by Americans.
Kowtko describes North America before Columbus' expedition in terms
of natural history and environs, using select tribes to illustrate
the people from a societal and environmental perspective that links
the land and the people together. She discusses which tribes were
in North America, interactions with the land, agriculture and
habitation, hunting and gathering methods, spirituality, migration,
leisure, and gender roles.
