Summary

"Native peoples control millions of hectacres of their own sovereign wildlands around the world. Some of these lands are well managed in a traditional manner, and some of them are managed with a combination of traditional and contemporary land management tools and techniques. Native stewards have stories to tell and expertise to share. The first Native Lands and Wilderness Council was convened during the 8th World Wilderness Congress (Alaska, 2005) for native communities to help one another keep the wildness in their ancestral lands. This first handbook shares some of their stories and some of their expertise."--BOOK JACKET.
